Jonathan Ward is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The book discusses the moral and political implications of American slavery and argues for its abolition. It reflects the growing abolitionist sentiment during this period, shedding light on the contradictions of a nation that professes freedom while practicing slavery. In this essay, Ward articulates his condemnation of slavery as a profound moral evil and emphasizes the need for immediate emancipation. He discusses the inherent injustices faced by enslaved individuals, focusing on their deprivation of basic rights, including education and religious instruction. Furthermore, he advocates for a peaceful approach to abolition, utilizing reasoning and persuasion rather than violence or insurrection. Drawing on the principles of Christianity, he urges readers to recognize the moral imperative for abolition and highlights examples from other regions, such as the West Indies, where emancipation has led to improved conditions for both freed individuals and society as a whole.
