Publisher's Synopsis
""Address To The People Of Texas: On The Protection Of Slave Property"" is a historical book written by H. McBride Pridgen in 1859. The book is a passionate defense of the institution of slavery, and it argues that the protection of slave property is essential to the prosperity and well-being of the state of Texas. Pridgen argues that slavery is a natural and necessary part of society, and that it is the duty of the government to protect the rights of slave owners. He also argues that the abolition of slavery would lead to economic ruin and social chaos. The book is a fascinating insight into the mindset of pro-slavery advocates in the years leading up to the American Civil War. It is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the complex and controversial issue of slavery in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
