1850 AMOR PATRIAE. The Blasphemy of Abolitionism Exposed. Letters to President Polk. Rare!

A fascinating work, first mailed as a manuscript letter from its anonymous anti-abolitionist author to President Polk. In it, he argued to Pok that radical abolitionists had joined forces with English Abolitionists and that they were willing to use religious exclusion from worship, financial tariff and boycott, and ultimately guerrilla warfare and then conventional warfare to weaken the South and end slavery for good.

The author argues that this is politically treasonous and religiously blasphemous.

Exceptionally rare, not offered at auction since 1946 as part of the Midlands Rare Slavery Auction. Scarce then. Nearly unobtainable now. From the collection of Rev. Milton S. Carothers, Professor at Florida State University, and significant book collector.

Fascinating article on the tractates origin inThe New England Quarterly,HERE.
