Remarks On Dr. Channing's Slavery (1835)

Remarks On Dr. Channing�������s Slavery is a book written by an anonymous author who identifies themselves only as ""A Citizen of Massachusetts."" The book was published in 1835 and is a critique of the views expressed by Dr. William Ellery Channing, a prominent Unitarian minister and abolitionist.In the book, the author takes issue with Channing's argument that slavery is a moral evil that must be abolished. The author argues that slavery is a necessary institution for the economic and social well-being of the South, and that attempts to abolish it would be harmful to both the slaveholders and the slaves.The author also criticizes Channing's views on the nature of slavery, arguing that Channing's characterization of slavery as a form of ""moral suicide"" is overly simplistic and fails to take into account the complex social and economic factors that underlie the institution.Throughout the book, the author presents a defense of slavery that is grounded in economic and social reasoning, arguing that the institution of slavery is essential to the prosperity and stability of the South. The book is a fascinating historical artifact that sheds light on the complex debates surrounding 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.
