Excerpt from The Rendition of Anthony Burns, Its Causes and Consequences: A Discourse on Christian Politics, Delivered in Williams Hall, Boston, on Whitsunday, June 4, 1854
I have invited you here this morning to meditate on the events of the week the phenomenon which has occurred in the streets of Boston. The slave power, which has tri umphed in Congress over the Rights of the North, which has violated sacred compacts, and broken contracts after hav ing taken its own share of the consideration, has come North to Boston, has taken possession of our Court House, of our City Government, our whole Police force, our whole Military force, and suspended and interrupted the business of our citizens until its demands could be satisfied. Not contented.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a collection of sermons by the author, a minister of the Worcester Free Church, delivered in the aftermath of the rendition of Anthony Burns, a fugitive slave, back to slavery in 1854. The sermons grapple with the moral and religious implications of slavery, and the role of the North in its perpetuation. The author argues that slavery is a sin against God and humanity, and that the North has a moral obligation to resist its spread. The sermons are deeply rooted in the abolitionist movement of the time, and offer a powerful indictment of slavery and its defenders. They provide a valuable historical perspective on the moral and religious debates surrounding slavery in the antebellum United States, and offer insights into the role of religion in the fight for social justice.
