Description

1859 SLAVERY Memoirs of George Washington Civil War America Kirkland Illustrated

Memoirs of Washington is a mid-19th-century account of early Americana through the guise of the life of George Washington. Written by Caroline Kirkland, this work focuses heavily on slavery in America as well as Washingtons own opinions on slavery. Kirkland states in Memoirs:

â€œHe would have been slow to believe, probably, that the day would ever come when good people could be found who would condemn dancing, yet refuse to condemn slavery; who would consider card-playing a sin, yet utter no fulminations against what Washington himself, born and bred in the midst of it, calls a wicked, cruel and unnatural trade.”

This book was written at the height of the controversy over slavery in America. Kirkland, curiously, argues both sides â€“ deriding slavery and showing disdain for those who supported it, as well as trivializing slavery comparing it to other harmless sins. (Castronovo, p.35).
