"Slavery: Letters and Speeches" by Horace Mann is a collection of abolitionist writings produced during the mid-19th century. As one of the key figures in the movement against slavery, Mann's work addresses the moral and political implications of human freedom, appealing to the youth of his era to uphold principles of justice and truth. The book combines letters, speeches, and arguments that champion human rights and challenge the legitimacy of slavery in the United States. At the start of this compilation, Mann reflects on the aspirations and moral duties of young men, emphasizing the importance of aligning personal ambitions with universal principles such as love for God and humanity. He categorizes youth into three distinct classes based on their pursuit of truth and virtue. Mann articulates the pressing need for these young individuals to resist the temptations of wealth and power in favor of justice, ultimately urging them to become active champions of human liberty. His impassioned argument sets a strong moral foundation for the discussions that follow in the remaining letters and speeches, positioning the struggle against slavery as a historic and ethical obligation.
