American slavery, and the means of its abolition

"American Slavery, and the Means of Its Abolition" by Rev. Jonathan Ward is a powerful book from the 1800s that explores the terrible realities of slavery in America and makes a case for ending it. Ward speaks out against the unfairness of slavery, where people are denied basic rights like education and the freedom to practice their religion. Instead of calling for violence, Ward believes that abolitionists should use logic and gentle persuasion to change people's minds and end this immoral institution. He uses christian moral code to support his position, and even points to other places like the West Indies where freeing the slaves actually made things better for everyone.
