Summary

  • A critique of American abolitionism after 1787, with emphasis upon the negative impact of the movement on the South and slavery.

He also gives basic facts and figures on the initial six states of the southern confederacy, including biographies of Jefferson Davis and Alexander Stevens and the slave and free populations of these states.
