Excerpt from Parallel Between Intemperance and the Slave-Trade
And can any thing be Worse? Can any-guilt, or misery, or peril, surpass that of the slave-trade? Yes, I answer, intemperance in the United States is worse, is a more blighting and deadly scourge to humanity, than that traffic, all dripping with gore, which it makes every muscle shud der to think of.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book boldly argues that alcohol abuse in the United States now poses a far greater threat to society than the slave trade ever did. The author supports this provocative argument with exhaustive research into the social, economic, and human cost of excessive drinking, providing startling evidence of its devastating impact on individuals, families, and the nation as a whole. This book compares and contrasts the horrors of the transatlantic slave trade with the widespread suffering caused by alcohol abuse, examining both the physical and moral consequences of each. It delves into the complex history of temperance movements, exposing the struggles and triumphs of those who sought to combat the evils of alcohol consumption. Ultimately, this book challenges readers to reconsider their own relationship with alcohol and to join the fight against this insidious scourge. Its powerful insights will ignite discussion and inspire action, making it an essential read for anyone concerned about the well-being of our society.
