Excerpt from The Policy of Emancipation: In Three Letters, to the Secretary of War, the President of the United States, and the Secretary of the Treasury
MY political antecedents are known to you. Always a democrat, but never a pro-slavery democrat; Opposed, in principle and feeling, from my youth up, to human slavery, but believing, until recently, that, in the interests of liberty itself, it was the part of wisdom in the North to abstain from interference with the danger-fraught domestic institu tion of the South, and to trust to time for its eradication; opposed, with a' hereditary aversion, to war, I was willing, before the sword was drawn, to make any honorable con cessions that might avert its horrors.
But political convulsions bring with them great lessons and new duties. War would not, under the Divine econ Omy, have been permitted, as In all past ages it has been, if it had not its mission. But to attain the good it brings we must recognize its necessities.

The Policy of Emancipation (Classic Reprint)
Impresión bajo demandaLibrería: Forgotten Books, London, Reino Unido
Calificación del vendedor: 5 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents an assemblage of three letters written by Robert Dale Owen, a prominent 19th-century American politician, to various government officials during the Civil War. The letters, written in 1862, are startlingly prescient in their arguments in favor of emancipation as a means to end the war and to secure a lasting peace. Owen provides a detailed analysis of the political, economic, and social factors that made slavery incompatible with the preservation of the Union and argues that emancipation was not only morally right but also strategically necessary. His insights into the dynamics of power, the role of race in American society, and the importance of decisive leadership remain highly relevant today, offering valuable lessons for understanding and addressing contemporary issues of racial justice and political polarization.
