Book excerpt: Lectures on the Philosophy and Practice of Slavery by William A. Smith is an in-depth essay about the horrible, dehumanizing, and destructive practice of slavery in the United States. Excerpt: "My classes in college were compelled to deal with the subject of domestic slavery. Not only the popular ideas concerning African slavery in this country, but the specific treatment of this topic by numerous text authors in Moral Science, rendered this unavoidable. A deep conviction that the minds of young men were wrong, and, in the present state of the country, a fatal direction, both as regards the principles of the institution, and the institution itself, induced me to substitute the text authorities on the subject by a course of lectures."
