Slaveholding a Malum in se, or Invariably Sinful

Drawing on the Bible and other religious texts, Tyler argues that slaveholding is not only morally wrong, but also contrary to the teachings of Jesus Christ. This work provides a valuable historical insight into the debates surrounding slavery in the years leading up to the American Civil War.
