Remarks Upon Slavery And The Slave Trade: Addressed To Henry Clay (1859) is a book written by an anonymous slave holder in the United States. The book is a response to Henry Clay, a prominent politician who had recently spoken out against the institution of slavery. The author argues that slavery is a necessary and beneficial institution, and that it is supported by both the Bible and the Constitution. The author also defends the slave trade, arguing that it is a legitimate business and that the slaves themselves are better off as slaves than they would be if they were free. The book provides a detailed defense of slavery from the perspective of a slave holder, and offers a unique insight into the mindset of those who supported the institution.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
