Fugitive Slave Law, The Religious Duty Of Obedience To Law

The book ""Fugitive Slave Law, The Religious Duty Of Obedience To Law: A Sermon Preached In The Second Presbyterian Church In Brooklyn (1850)"" is a sermon delivered by Ichabod Smith Spencer in the Second Presbyterian Church in Brooklyn in 1850. The sermon discusses the Fugitive Slave Law, which was a controversial law in the United States that required citizens to assist in the capture and return of runaway slaves. Spencer argues that it is a religious duty to obey the law, even if one disagrees with it, and that Christians should not engage in civil disobedience. The book provides a historical perspective on the issue of slavery and the role of religion in the debate. It is a valuable resource for those interested in the history of slavery and the abolitionist movement in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
