Biblical Defenses Of Slavery (1864)

By A South Carolinian, Simon Clough, Alexander McCaine

Book Overview

Biblical Defenses of Slavery is a controversial book written by an anonymous South Carolinian in 1864, during the American Civil War. The book attempts to justify the practice of slavery by using passages from the Bible. The author argues that slavery is not only morally acceptable but also divinely ordained, citing examples from the Old and New Testaments. The book also addresses the abolitionist movement and critiques their arguments against slavery. The author uses biblical interpretations to counter the abolitionist claims that slavery is a sin and that all men are created equal. The book is a reflection of the mindset of many Southern slave owners who believed that slavery was a necessary and beneficial institution. However, it is important to note that the book's arguments have been widely discredited and are not accepted by most modern biblical scholars.Contains Practical Considerations Founded On The Scripture, Relative To The Slave Population Of South Carolina, A Candid Appeal To The Citizens Of The United States, Slavery Defended From Scripture, And Others.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
