Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the anti-slavery views of America's revered founding father, George Washington. Exploring the historical backdrop of the American Revolution, the author juxtaposes the tenets of the Declaration of Independence against the glaring contradiction of human enslavement that existed at the time. The author discusses the moral inconsistencies embedded in America's early political fabric and traces the rise of the Slave Power, which attempted to reconcile these contradictions through legal and religious justifications. The book further examines the ways in which the Slave Power tried to silence opposition, suppress dissent, and shape public opinion, even within the halls of government. The author highlights the struggles of those who dared to speak out against slavery, as well as the tragic consequences of the nation's failure to fully embrace its founding principles. This book is a provocative examination of the complex relationship between slavery, morality, and the struggle for human freedom in America. It is a timely and important contribution to our understanding of the nation's past and present.
