Negroes and Negro "Slavery:" the first an inferior race: the latter its normal condition.

About this book

In the tumultuous era preceding the Civil War, debates over race and slavery intensified across the United States. "Negroes and Negro 'Slavery:' the first an inferior race: the latter its normal condition" by J. H. Van Evrie, M.D., presents a provocative perspective that challenges the prevailing abolitionist narrative. This treatise boldly claims that the concept of "unalienable rights" is misapplied to those it deems an inferior race, arguing for a societal structure where slavery is viewed as a natural state. Ideal for historians, civic activists, and students of American history, this work invites readers to critically engage with the contentious ideas surrounding race and human rights during a pivotal moment in American history.
