Publisher's Synopsis

""A Defense of Southern Slavery: Against the Attacks of Henry Clay and Alexander Campbell"" is a book written by an anonymous Southern clergyman in 1851. The book is a response to the criticisms of slavery made by prominent politicians and religious leaders of the time, including Henry Clay and Alexander Campbell. The author argues that slavery is a positive institution that benefits both slave owners and slaves, and that it is justified by biblical teachings. The book also defends the practice of slave trading and argues that it is a legitimate business enterprise. Despite its controversial subject matter, ""A Defense of Southern Slavery"" was widely read and influential in the years leading up to the American Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
