Historian and constitutional scholar Albert Taylor Bledsoe considers whether the secession of the Confederate states was legal under constitutional law.The author poses the question: did Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States of America, commit treason by initiating the secession and thereby igniting the nation on a path to Civil War?Over the course of a lengthy analysis, Bledsoe justifies the actions of Jefferson Davis as lawful. Considering arguments both for and against Davis as a traitor, we are taken through a series of proposals that quote the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence and Federalist papers. Upon reading and explaining a multitude of passages, the author arrives at the conclusion that states can lawfully leave the Union if they so choose.Bledsoe goes further in his arguments, saying that the Founding Fathers may have envisaged the prospect for conflict and schism between the north and south.

""An Essay On Liberty And Slavery"" is a thought-provoking treatise by Albert Taylor Bledsoe, an American philosopher and theologian. In this book, Bledsoe explores the relationship between liberty and slavery, two concepts that were central to the political and social discourse of the United States in the 19th century.Bledsoe argues that liberty and slavery are not mutually exclusive, and that slavery can coexist with a certain degree of freedom. He contends that slavery is not inherently evil, but rather a necessary institution for the functioning of society. Bledsoe also defends the idea that slaves are not necessarily inferior to their masters, and that they can lead fulfilling lives under the right conditions.The book is divided into four parts, each of which addresses a different aspect of the liberty-slavery debate. In the first part, Bledsoe discusses the nature of liberty and its relationship to slavery. He argues that liberty is not an absolute right, but rather a privilege that must be earned through hard work and discipline. In the second part, Bledsoe examines the moral and ethical implications of slavery, and defends the institution against its critics.The third part of the book is devoted to a critique of abolitionism, which Bledsoe sees as a misguided and dangerous movement that threatens the stability of society. He argues that abolitionists are motivated by a misguided sense of moral superiority, and that their actions will ultimately lead to chaos and anarchy.Finally, in the fourth part of the book, Bledsoe offers his vision for a society that embraces both liberty and slavery. He argues that slavery can be a positive force in society if it is properly regulated and if slaves are treated with respect and dignity.Overall, ""An Essay On Liberty And Slavery"" is a controversial and thought-provoking work that challenges conventional wisdom on one of the most contentious issues in American history. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of slavery and its impact on American society.An Attack On The Abolitionists In General And A Defense Of The Slave Power From Historical, Religious And Natural Law Perspectives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
