Synopsis

This book is a philosophical exploration of the nature of freedom, justice, slavery, and race relations in the context of the 1860s United States. In contrast to the view that freedom only exists for those who hold political power, or are white and wealthy, the author instead argues that freedom is an inherent right of all creation, and that the absolute power of one being over another constitutes slavery. Exploring the parallels in the historical experiences of different racial and ethnic groups, the author posits that different races are destined to inhabit certain latitudes due to climate and environmental factors, and that this, and not supposed racial inferiority, is the basis of the enslavement of people of color. The author contends that slavery and subjugation are unjust and unnatural states that must be abolished for the moral and societal well-being of all.
