Woodward, a pro-slavery advocate, argues that slavery is a necessary evil that benefits both the slave and the master. Hopkins, on the other hand, is an abolitionist who believes that slavery is a moral and social evil that must be abolished.Kemble, a British actress and writer who became an abolitionist after marrying a plantation owner in Georgia, provides commentary on the letters and offers her own perspective on the issue of slavery. She uses her experiences living on a plantation to provide insight into the daily lives of slaves and the harsh realities of slavery.Overall, ""The Views of Judge Woodward and Bishop Hopkins on Negro Slavery at the South"" is a thought-provoking and important historical document that sheds light on the complex and contentious debate over slavery in the United States.Illustrated From The Journal Of A Residence On A Georgian Plantation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
