This work offers a defense of slavery from a biblical perspective, arguing that the institution was in line with God's will. The author, Josiah Priest, draws upon both religious and secular sources to make his case, offering an overview of the history of the African race as well as its supposed moral, mental, and physical characteristics. Although strongly condemned today, Priest's work provides insight into the arguments and perspectives of those who sought to uphold slavery in the years leading up to the Civil War.
