Publisher's Synopsis

""Is Slavery A Blessing? A Reply To Professor Bledsoe�������s Essay On Liberty And Slavery: With Remarks On Slavery As It Is"" is a book written by Charles B. Shaw in 1857. The book is a response to Professor Bledsoe�������s essay on liberty and slavery, in which he argued that slavery was a positive institution for both slaves and slave owners. Shaw challenges Bledsoe�������s arguments and provides counterpoints to his claims, arguing that slavery is a cruel and inhumane system that violates the basic rights of human beings.The book also includes Shaw�������s own remarks on slavery as it existed at the time, including the brutal treatment of slaves, the economic benefits of slavery to the South, and the moral and ethical implications of owning another human being. Shaw argues that slavery is a stain on American society and that it is incompatible with the principles of liberty and justice upon which the country was founded.Overall, ""Is Slavery A Blessing? A Reply To Professor Bledsoe�������s Essay On Liberty And Slavery: With Remarks On Slavery As It Is"" is a powerful critique of the institution of slavery, and a compelling argument for its abolition. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the debates and controversies surrounding slavery in the pre-Civil War era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
