Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book is the first of its kind, written by a young man in the midst of slave-holding territory. The author, Cassius M. Clay, stood alone for years, publicly denouncing the evils of slavery and all forms of oppression. The book gathers his essays, letters, and speeches from the 1830s to 1848, giving a first-hand, unvarnished account of the fight against slavery. Clay is an eloquent orator, a powerful writer, and a bold truth-teller. His passion for justice shines through every page. He exposes the horrors of slavery, the hypocrisy of the church, and the tyranny of the mob. He is optimistic, believing that Christianity is the key to liberty and that education can change hearts and minds.
