The Way to Abolish Slavery

"The Way to Abolish Slavery" by Charles Stearns, is a fiery commentary on the slavery era in the United States. This writing passionately opposes slavery, focusing on its immoral and political roots. Stearns believes slavery must be stopped right away because it is a horrible injustice that corrupts American freedom and fairness. Stearns examines how societal structures, particularly politics and religion, help keep slavery alive. Stearns argues that when churches accept slavery, their moral values are weakened, and politics favor slave owners over basic human rights. He dramatically shows how slaves suffer and strongly encourages major changes, pushing for slavery to end by taking apart its institutional supports, like ending any connections the North has with pro-slavery actions. Stearns's work is an inspiring demand for abolitionists to take a firm and unyielding stand against the systems that maintain oppression, for true freedom to be achieved.
