Description
1861 St George Tucker on SLAVERY American Civil War Virginia RARE



St. George Tucker was an 18th-century lawyer who, following the American Revolution, was an advocate for the emancipation of slaves. He was highly critical of slavery as an institutional concept and proposed the complete abolishment of slavery stating that in order for America to have political and economic freedom, slavery must be gone. In 1796, he published a pamphlet pushing his views on slavery – ‘Dissertation on Slavery’.



This book was reprinted in 1861 at the outset of the Civil War as a propaganda piece for North. Ultimately, when slavery was abolished, this book contributed to the reforming of ideals for freeing slaves.
