Publisher's Synopsis

The Southern Platform: Or Manual Of Southern Sentiment On The Subject Of Slavery is a book written by Daniel R. Goodloe in 1858. As the title suggests, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the Southern perspective on the issue of slavery. The author argues that slavery is not only a legal institution but also a moral one, and that it is necessary for the economic and social stability of the South. The book contains a collection of speeches, essays, and articles written by prominent Southern politicians, intellectuals, and clergymen, all of whom defend the institution of slavery. The author also addresses the arguments made by abolitionists and provides counterarguments to their claims. The Southern Platform is a significant historical document that sheds light on the complex and controversial issue of slavery in the United States before the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile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.
