Letters on American Slavery Addressed to Mr. Thomas Rankin is a book written by John Rankin and published in 1833. The book is a collection of letters that Rankin wrote to his friend and fellow abolitionist, Thomas Rankin, regarding the issue of slavery in America.Rankin was a Presbyterian minister who lived and worked in Ohio, which was a free state at the time. He was a vocal opponent of slavery and used his position as a minister to speak out against the practice. In these letters, Rankin discusses the moral, social, and economic implications of slavery, as well as the ways in which it was perpetuated and defended by those who benefited from it.Rankin's letters are written in a passionate and persuasive style, and they provide a detailed and nuanced analysis of the issue of slavery. He argues that slavery is a sin against God and a violation of human rights, and he calls on his fellow Americans to take action to end the practice.Overall, Letters on American Slavery Addressed to Mr. Thomas Rankin is an important historical document that sheds light on the early years of the abolitionist movement in America. It is a powerful and thought-provoking work that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
