Petition and memorial of David Quinn, asking for the re-establishment of Negro slavery in the United States

"Petition and memorial of David Quinn, asking for the re-establishment of Negro slavery in the United States" by David Quinn, is a politically charged pamphlet from the post-Civil War period where the author shockingly urges Congress to bring back slavery. Quinn attempts to justify this by claiming that different races are inherently suited for different roles in society, with Black people supposedly being naturally subservient and incapable of independence. He criticizes those who fought to end slavery and argues that the country's economy and social order would improve if slavery were reinstated, backing up these claims with historical and scientific references meant to prove white superiority. The pamphlet drips with an unrepentant tone, promoting a disturbing view that disregards ethical considerations and the history of injustice.
