Dominion: Or The Unity And Trinity Of The Human Race; With The Divine Political Constitution Of The World, And The Divine Rights Of Shem, Ham, And Japheth. This 19th-century biblicist tract lays out a fixed, tripartite anthropology derived from Noah’s sons—Shem, Ham, and Japheth—and argues that three eternal races occupy divinely assigned domains. It assigns political supremacy to Shem, a future Japheth who Christianizes and rules vast lands, and a Hamite people condemned to servitude under a universal Noachic constitution. The work relies on scriptural exegesis of Genesis, Numbers, and Leviticus, aided by classical authorities, geography, and physiognomy, to map continents to these stocks. History is recast as the unfolding of a deliberate divine order, with prophecy as the infallible key: when interpretation aligns with events, it is true. Geography, climate, and race become evidence for a global plan that justifies slavery and colonization as benevolent, divinely sanctioned policies. The tract consists of a textual constitution of the world and a fulfilment-focused second part, written to appeal to Southern, pro-slavery Christian readers in antebellum America.
