1850 SLAVERY DEBATE PAMPHLET – Joseph C. Stiles – Presbyterian General Assembly – Antebellum Americana
Original 1850 pamphlet titled:
"Speech on the Slavery Resolutions, Delivered in the General Assembly Which Met in Detroit in May Last"
by Joseph C. Stiles, printed in Washington by Jno. T. Towers, 1850.
This scarce antebellum publication was issued during the height of the national controversy over slavery. Written by Southern Presbyterian minister Joseph C. Stiles, the pamphlet presents a detailed religious and historical discussion of slavery, biblical interpretation, emancipation, and the church's role in addressing the issue.
Published just a decade before the Civil War, this work offers a firsthand view of the arguments advanced within American religious institutions as slavery increasingly divided the nation. Original slavery-related pamphlets from this era are among the most important primary-source documents for understanding the social, political, and theological conflicts that ultimately led to disunion and war.
