About this book

In a pivotal moment of American history, Nathaniel S. Prime's discourse, "The Year of Jubilee; But Not to Africans," delivered on July 4th, 1825, critically examines the stark contradiction between the nation’s celebrated independence and the grim reality of slavery. Highlighting the concept of “unalienable rights,” Prime challenges the moral integrity of a society that proclaims freedom while denying it to millions. This thought-provoking document serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, Prime’s work invites readers to confront uncomfortable truths about America’s past and the enduring legacy of its ideals. Engage with this essential text to deepen your understanding of liberty's complexities.
