Publisher's Synopsis
The Injustice and Impolicy of the Slave Trade: And of the Slavery of the Africans, Illustrated in a Sermon (1822) is a book written by Jonathan Edwards. The book is a powerful and passionate condemnation of the slave trade and the enslavement of Africans. Edwards argues that the slave trade is both unjust and unwise, and that it is a violation of the natural rights of human beings. He also argues that slavery is a moral evil and that it is contrary to the principles of Christianity. The book is based on a sermon that Edwards delivered in 1822, and it is written in a clear and persuasive style. The Injustice and Impolicy of the Slave Trade is an important historical document that sheds light on the moral and political debates surrounding the slave trade and slavery in the early 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
