Publisher's Synopsis
William S. Plumer's 'Thoughts on the Religious Instruction of the Negroes of This Country' offers a unique perspective on the subject of religion and slavery in America. Drawing on his own experiences as a slave owner, Plumer argues that it is both morally and spiritually essential to educate and evangelize the enslaved population. This book remains a relevant and powerful testimony to the struggles of the time, and a thought-provoking read for all interested in the history of racial relations in America.
