(Abel Charles) Iron Gray 11028609 The Gospel of Slavery: A Primer of Freedom Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "The Gospel of Slavery: A Primer of Freedom" by Abel C. Thomas is a historical account written during the mid-19th century, specifically in the context of the American Civil War. This book addresses the moral and ethical implications of slavery, advocating for freedom and equality for all individuals, regardless of race. It utilizes poetry and prose to critique the institution of slavery and the justifications used by its proponents. The text unfolds through a series of verses that explore various themes related to slavery, such as the role of the master and slave, the quest for liberty, and the moral failures of a society that condones human bondage. Thomas uses characters like runaway slaves and slaveholders to illustrate the harsh realities of enslavement, the desperate struggles for freedom, and the stark differences between Northern and Southern ideologies. Each section builds upon the central theme of justice and humanity, ultimately calling for a societal acknowledgment of and action against the injustices of slavery. The work is both a passionate plea for freedom and a condemnation of the institutions that sustain oppression.
