Overview

Slavery by William Ellery Channing is a moral and philosophical examination of slavery as a social institution in nineteenth-century America. Written by a prominent religious and intellectual figure of the period, the book addresses the ethical implications of human bondage and the responsibilities of individuals and society in confronting injustice. Channing presents arguments grounded in conscience, human dignity, and moral reasoning, reflecting the reformist thought that influenced early abolitionist movements. Rather than serving as a historical narrative alone, the work engages readers in a broader reflection on liberty, justice, and moral responsibility. This volume is best approached as a historical and philosophical text, offering valuable insight into antebellum debates, reform movements, and the moral foundations of American anti-slavery thought.
