""An Essay on Liberty and Slavery"" is a book written by Albert Taylor Bledsoe, a prominent American philosopher and theologian, in 1856. The book is a defense of slavery and argues that it is a natural and just institution. Bledsoe contends that slavery is not only morally acceptable but also necessary for the preservation of the social order and the well-being of both slaves and slave owners. He also argues that slavery is consistent with the principles of individual liberty and that attempts to abolish it are a violation of the rights of slave owners. Bledsoe's book was controversial at the time of its publication and remains so today. It is considered an important work in the history of American political thought and the debate over slavery.An Attack On The Abolitionists In General And A Defense Of The Slave Power From Historical, Religious And Natural Law Perspectives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
