About This Item
A collection of anti-slavery speeches and texts, including a plan for the education and emancipation of slaves held by Kentucky Presbyterians.
The volume opens with William Wilberforce's famous 1789 Parliamentary motion for the abolition of the slave trade, and includes several other British speeches before "The Bill Passed, Abolishing the Trade" and several anti-slavery documents from the Presbyterian Kentucky Synod. The first of these-the 1818 "Unanimous Action of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States"-deems "the voluntary enslaving of one portion of the human race by another...utterly irreconcilable with the spirit and principles of the gospel of Christ," and the next outlines "The Substance of the Plan of a Committee of the Synod of Kentucky, for the Instruction and Emancipation of their Slaves" (1835). An 1846 sermon by Rev. John C. Young on the "Duty of Masters" closes the collection.
