Anti-slavery catechism

"Anti-slavery catechism" by Lydia Maria Child is a powerful book from the 1800s that argues against slavery using a question-and-answer style. The book teaches readers about the terrible things enslaved people faced and why they should be freed. It breaks down the reasons people used to defend slavery and shows how cruel it really was. Through conversations, Child talks about how slavery goes against Christian beliefs and basic human fairness, urging people to see how wrong it was and to take action against it. By sharing true stories, numbers, and what both slave owners and people who wanted to end slavery said, the book paints a clear picture of slavery's evils and why it had to be stopped. Filled with passion, Child pushes readers to think about their role in the problem and the big impact slavery had on the country and its values.
