Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a deeply researched and fiercely passionate argument against the Fugitive Slave Act, a piece of American legislation which allowed slave owners to pursue and return escaped slaves to their plantations. The author argues that the Act is blatantly unconstitutional, and goes on to state the case that, even if it was constitutional, it ought not to be obeyed because it is unjust. The author argues that all men are entitled to freedom and that the institution of slavery is inherently immoral. However, the author does not just restate the well-known arguments for the abolition of slavery; they also provide a detailed plan for how to help escaped slaves evade their pursuers.
