1861 Slaveholding as a Religious Question
What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Rebound, Very Scarce
The first edition.
A vanishingly scarce work.
A sermon by Anthony Schuyler, preached at his seat at Christ Church, Oswego, on the 3rd February 1861.
The sermon focuses on the question of the morality of slaveholding, and how the Bible condemns those who own slaves.
By Anthony Schuyler, a member of the prominent family of who many members played a critical role in the formation of the United States.
An interesting piece of Americana published on the eve of the Civil War.
