The book is structured as a catechism, presenting questions and answers addressing various aspects and moral implications of slavery. As an informative and persuasive work, it aims to enlighten readers on the injustices faced by enslaved individuals and argues strongly for their emancipation. The content of the book systematically dismantles pro-slavery arguments while providing evidence of the brutal realities of slavery. Through a series of dialogues, Child explores the moral and ethical responsibilities of individuals and society as a whole regarding the institution of slavery, portraying it as fundamentally opposed to Christian values and human rights. She shares compelling anecdotes, statistics, and the testimonies of slaveholders and abolitionists alike to illustrate the true nature of slavery and the urgent need for its eradication. Child's passionate commitment to the cause of abolition is evident, as she challenges readers to confront their complicity and consider the far-reaching consequences of slavery on both enslaved individuals and the moral fabric of the nation.
