Shaw argues that slavery is a stain on American society and that it is incompatible with the principles of liberty and justice upon which the country was founded.Overall, ""Is Slavery A Blessing? A Reply To Professor Bledsoe�������s Essay On Liberty And Slavery: With Remarks On Slavery As It Is"" is a powerful critique of the institution of slavery, and a compelling argument for its abolition.
