A Review of Uncle Tom Cabin or An Essay on Slavery eBook A Woodward
I like a well written, well reasoned essay, even if I disagree with the argument. This is not an essay. This is a rant. The author was not a slaveowner, but he bought every drawing room excuse for slavery. He was also so racist as to be completely convinced of the slaves's inability to fully function as an individual if freed. And his opinion of Ms. Beecher Stowe! Ouch! I'll give him 'props' for attacking Northern Racism, but this is still a rant. This is opinion, with the few facts presented willfully misinterpreted as to cause. But it is history, so it can't be dismissed out of hand.Product details

A Review of Uncle Tom Cabin or An Essay on Slavery eBook A Woodward Reviews
A thoroughly repugnant screed against the abolitionist movement. It would be both easy and comforting to tell everyone to ignore it and forget that such appalling ideas were ever considered in American intellectual circles. Alas, the fact is that these same sort of arguments are still in use every day to tell us why corporations are people with full religious liberty that trumps that of their employees, gay people must be kept from having full civil rights, people of color should be feared, and poor people need to have their social safety net cut for the good of the bottom line of people who have more money than can reasonably be spent in five generations.
Don't rock the boat, Woodward says, or you'll make things far, far worse for those you are championing. Yes, and freedom is slavery. Newspeak was alive and well a hundred years before Orwell wrote 1984. You can read it here. Then take a long shower. You'll need it.
A review of UNCLE TOMS CABIN
Uncle tom cabin told the truth of the times. Some of the people; Uncle Tom- lived their faith. Others just talked and avoided the truth and embraced the sin of slavery.
All the racism and other awful apologies for black slavery in the US in one poisonous pill. Most disgusting is how many of these arguments are still sincerely made.
excellent
This book gives an interesting perspective on the mindset of many in the mid-1800s. While most of it is nonsense, it may have some valid points about negative impact on slaves of the abolition movement, or at least the perception of such.
WOW is all I can say about this book. This guy is a master at twisting facts and fictions to make his points. What a vile treatise in FAVOR of MAINTAINING SOUTHERN SLAVERY. The arguments made against ending slavery are very, very WRONG; but, oh, are they a great lesson in how to write an argument AGAINST just about ANYTHING. If you can argue in FAVOR of maintaining slavery, then you can argue any side of any argument. In other words, you will see the clever way this man approaches his task of opposing emancipation (by the way, this book was written well before emancipation happened). This book is instructive to good, moral people, so that they may be mindful of how a sinister character, such as this Woodward, can so cleverly weave his arguments in favor of something so patently vile as slavery. This book, is really a lesson on how to OPPOSE almost anything, especially something that is morally correct. One could use similar false arguments to oppose SMOKING BANS, STRICTER GUN LAWS, ABORTION CHOICE, and you name it, so one must be prepared to counter this kind of attack. Fortunately, even such cleverness at Woodward's did not work in the case of slavery. Hopefully, when something is VILE and just plain WRONG, as is slavery, then eventually THAT TRUTH, that slavery is not a good thing, will overcome. Similarly, this clever fellow is so wrong about his argument where, after claiming that he, too, does not really like slavery, he says that, unfortunately, there is no good way to free the slaves without grave consequences, so we will just have to keep slavery as our way of life, or so he argues. This book is very cleverly the OPPOSITE of truth. Yes, this is a "wolf-book" in "sheep-book" clothing. Don't be fooled!
This book was written in 1853 in an effort to combat the anti-slavery feelings which swept the country after the publication of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Although I do not agree with the vast majority of what is written in this book, it is an important piece of history and I highly recommend it for anyone interested in American history in the Civil War era. It took about 2 hours to read on the . There are many interesting comments in this book. Example - for those who say that slavery was not factor leading to the Civil War, there is this interesting passage "it is clear then, that the slave states never will yield to the requisitions of abolitionists, and should that faction ever become the dominant party in the free states, dissolution of the Union will be a necessary consequence Intelligent men, who will persist in a course of conduct so unjust, so illegal, with a perfect knowledge of the probable consequences". This was written almost 10 years before the start of the CW. It is passages like this which make this book of interest to those interested in Civil War era history.
