American Scenes and Christian Slavery: A Recent Tour of Four Thousand Miles in the United States is a book written by Ebenezer Davies about his travels through the United States in the mid-19th century. Davies, a Welsh minister, traveled through the northern and southern states, observing and documenting the social, political, and economic conditions of the country. The book is divided into two parts. The first part, American Scenes, describes Davies' travels through the northern states, including New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. He writes about the cities he visited, the people he met, and the landscape he encountered. He also comments on the social and political issues of the time, including the abolitionist movement and the growing tensions between the North and South.The second part, Christian Slavery, focuses on Davies' travels through the southern states, including Virginia, North Carolina, and Georgia. He writes about the institution of slavery, which was still legal in the South at the time, and the impact it had on the people he met. He also discusses the role of Christianity in justifying and perpetuating slavery, and argues that true Christianity is incompatible with the practice.Overall, American Scenes and Christian Slavery provides a detailed and insightful look into the United States during a pivotal time in its history. Davies' observations and criticisms of American society and slavery offer a unique perspective on the country's past and present.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
