Abolitionism Exposed! Proving the the Principles of Abolitionism are Injurious to the Slaves Themselves, Destructive to This Nation, and Contrary to the Express Commands of God

"Abolitionism Exposed!" by W. W. Sleigh is a controversial argument from the 1800s that opposes getting rid of slavery. The book claims that abolitionism actually hurts enslaved people and could destroy the country. Asserting the compatibility of slavery and Christian values, the author defends slavery by suggesting concepts like "liberty" and "slavery" are misunderstood by abolitionists. He also suggests sudden freedom would lead to chaos because formerly enslaved people wouldn't be ready to take care of themselves, setting out the moral, religious, and political reasons for his position against the movement to abolish slavery.
