The book is a powerful and passionate argument against slavery, which was a highly controversial issue at the time. Cheever argues that slavery is not only a moral evil but also a sin against God. He calls on preachers and religious leaders to use their pulpits to speak out against slavery and to work towards its abolition. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which explores a different aspect of the issue. Cheever begins by examining the biblical basis for his argument, citing numerous passages from the Old and New Testaments that condemn slavery. He then goes on to discuss the history of slavery in the United States, including the slave trade and the treatment of slaves on plantations. Cheever also addresses the arguments made by pro-slavery advocates, refuting their claims that slavery is necessary for the economy and that it is a positive good for both slaves and slave owners. He argues that slavery is a moral issue, not an economic one, and that it is a violation of the natural rights of human beings. Throughout the book, Cheever uses vivid language and powerful imagery to make his points. He describes the horrors of slavery, including the separation of families and the brutal treatment of slaves, and he calls on his readers to take action to end this injustice.
