by Albert Taylor Bledsoe (Author)
**This is an re-typeset reprint edition of an historical book originally published in the 1800s. It does not advocate racial discrimination or bigotry in today's society.**
Utilizing Scripture, philosophy and reason, the author of this treatise demonstrates that the institution of African servitude as it existed in the antebellum South served to maintain social order by denying liberty to those who were as yet unprepared to make proper use of it. Foreshadowing certain political ideologies of our own day, the agenda of nineteenth-century Abolitionism is also exposed as an attempt to completely destroy constitutional government and to substitute a lawless egalitarianism in its place.Author Biography

He resigned from the ministry and spent the next nine years practicing law in Springfield, Illinois.

Bledsoe left Springfield in 1848 to become professor of mathematics, first at the University of Mississippi until 1854 and then at the University of Virginia until the outbreak of the Civil War in 1861. He served during the war as acting Assistant Secretary of War in Richmond. After the war, Bledsoe published numerous books and other materials in defense of the Confederate cause, and he founded and also edited the Southern Review until his death on December 8, 1877 in Alexandria, Virginia.
