The Way to Abolish Slavery

A pamphlet argues that slavery survives less by natural strength than by the political and religious institutions that prop it up, with particular emphasis on churches that tolerate slaveholding. Writing as a private moralist rather than a partisan, the author examines how clerical sanction and government complicity legitimize the system and maintains that removing those institutional supports—exposing truth, withdrawing ecclesiastical and civil endorsement, and uniting moral effort—constitutes the only reliable remedy to bring the practice to an end.
