Summary |
Eli Washington Caruthers's unpublished manuscript, American Slavery and the Immediate Duty of Southern Slaveholders, is the arresting and authentic alternative to the nineteenth-century hermeneutics that supported slavery. On the basis of Exodus 10.3--""Let my people go that they may serve me""--Caruthers argued that God was acting in history against all slavery.

As the most extensive development of the Exodus text within the fiel. |
