Letters on American Slavery

In this stirring work, Rankin implores his correspondent to free the slaves he holds, arguing that to do so is to honor God's will and to secure the righteousness of his own soul. His moving words will persuade all who read them that the end of slavery is a just and necessary goal for all Americans.
