"The Way to Abolish Slavery" by Charles Stearns is a historical treatise written in the mid-19th century. This publication provides a passionate critique of the institution of slavery in America, focusing on the moral and political frameworks that support it. Stearns argues for urgency in addressing slavery, claiming that it is not only a profound social evil but also a stain on the nation's principles of liberty and justice. In the text, Stearns outlines the detrimental influences that sustain slavery, particularly examining the roles of both the church and state as complicit partners in its existence. He contends that the acceptance of slavery within religious institutions diminishes moral integrity, while political systems prioritize the interests of slaveholders at the expense of human dignity. Through vivid illustrations of slave sufferings and calls for radical reforms, he advocates the necessity of abolishing slavery by dismantling its institutional supports, including urging the Northern states to sever ties with pro-slavery practices and organizations. His work is a rallying cry for abolitionists, emphasizing that true liberation requires a bold and uncompromising stance against the established structures that uphold oppression.
