Description
""The Duty of Disobedience to Wicked Laws: A Sermon on the Fugitive Slave Law"" is a book written by Charles Beecher in 1851. The book is a sermon that was delivered to a congregation in Brooklyn, New York, during a time when the United States was grappling with the issue of slavery. The Fugitive Slave Law was a controversial law that required citizens to assist in the capture and return of runaway slaves, and Beecher argues that it is the duty of individuals to disobey such laws if they are deemed unjust or immoral. Beecher's sermon is a powerful call to action, urging his listeners to take a stand against the immoral practices of slavery and to actively resist laws that support it. He argues that it is not only a moral imperative to disobey such laws, but that it is also a legal right. Beecher draws on his deep knowledge of the Bible and Christian theology to make his case, using scripture to argue that God's law supersedes the law of man when the two conflict. ""The Duty of Disobedience to Wicked Laws"" is a significant historical document that sheds light on the moral and political debates of the time. It is a powerful reminder of the importance of standing up for what is right, even in the face of powerful opposition. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of slavery in the United States and the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.Also Contains The Religious Duty Of Obedience To Law, A Sermon; The Fugitive Slave Law, Speech Of Horace Mann; The Gospel Applied To The Fugitive Slave Law, A Sermon By Oliver Stearns.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
