Publisher's Synopsis
""A Defense of Southern Slavery: Against the Attacks of Henry Clay and Alexander Campbell"" is a book written by Iveson L. Brookes that defends the practice of slavery in the southern United States during the mid-19th century. The book is a response to the criticisms of two prominent figures of the time, Henry Clay and Alexander Campbell, who were both vocal opponents of slavery. Brookes argues that slavery is a necessary and beneficial institution that provides economic stability and social order in the South. He also contends that slaves are treated well and are better off under the care of their owners than they would be if they were free. The book provides a detailed defense of the southern way of life and the institution of slavery, and is an important historical document that sheds light on the attitudes and beliefs of the era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
