""A Letter to the People of the United States Touching the Matter of Slavery"" is a book written by Theodore Parker in 1848. The book is a passionate argument against the institution of slavery in the United States. Parker, a prominent abolitionist and Unitarian minister, addresses his letter to the American people, urging them to recognize the moral and ethical implications of slavery and to take action to abolish it. Parker's letter is a powerful condemnation of slavery, arguing that it is a violation of basic human rights and a stain on the character of the United States. He argues that slavery is not only morally wrong, but also economically and socially destructive, and that it is a threat to the very foundations of American democracy. Throughout the book, Parker draws on his extensive knowledge of history, philosophy, and theology to make his case against slavery. He cites the teachings of Jesus and the principles of the American Revolution to argue that slavery is incompatible with the values of freedom and equality that are at the heart of American society. In addition to his moral and philosophical arguments, Parker also addresses practical concerns, such as the economic impact of slavery and the potential for violence and unrest if it is not abolished. He offers concrete proposals for how the United States can move towards a society free from slavery, including gradual emancipation and the education and empowerment of formerly enslaved people. Overall, ""A Letter to the People of the United States Touching the Matter of Slavery"" is a powerful and persuasive argument against one of the most shameful practices in American history. Parker's eloquent and passionate writing makes it clear that slavery is not only a moral wrong, but also a threat to the very foundations of American democracy and society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
