Studies on Slavery, in Easy Lessons

Published in 1852, 'Studies on Slavery, in Easy Lessons' by John Fletcher is a philosophical and theological examination of slavery in the United States. The book defends slavery from moral and biblical perspectives, countering abolitionist arguments of the time. Fletcher, who claims experience in both Northern and Southern states, argues that slavery is a divinely sanctioned institution serving social and economic purposes. His work critiques notable abolitionist thinkers and seeks to justify the institution within the context of Christian doctrine and moral philosophy.
