Book Description
Excerpt from A Letter to the People of the United States Touching the Matter of Slavery Fellow-Citizens of the United States: It may seem strange and presumptuous that an obscure man, known even by name to but very few in the land, should write you a public letter on a theme so important as this of Slavery. You may call it foolish and rash. Say that if you will; perhaps you are right. I have no name, no office, no rank amongst men, which entitle my thoughts to your consideration. I am but one of the undistinguished millions, who live unnoticed, and die remembered only by their family and friends; humble and obscure. If any of the famous men accustomed to sway the opinions of the political parties and the theological sects, had suitably treated this matter, showing you the facts and giving manly counsel, I should not have presumed to open my mouth. It is their silence which prompts me to speak. I am no aspirant for office or for fame; have nothing to gain by your favor; fear nothing from your frown.

Book Description
John Rankin was pastor of the Presbyterian Church of Ripley and Strait-Creek, in Brown County, Ohio. His brother Thomas was a Virginia businessman. Reverend Rankin wrote these thirteen letters "with the desire of aiding and encouraging every effort for the liberation of the enslaved and degraded Africans." He rebuts the canard that blacks are an inferior race: "What people, in similar circumstances, have ever given stronger marks of genius than are exhibited by the enslaved African of the United States?" By 1838 the book had gone through at least five editions, all of which are far more common than this first edition.

Book Description
Excerpt from Slavery in the United States: A Letter to Hon. Daniel Webster Sir, Amidst all that has been written and spoken on the question of Slavery in America, I have never met with any argument in which the claims of each interest seemed to be fairly comprehended. Such statements, however, may have been put forth, although I have not had the fortune to meet with them; and I should therefore abstain from entering, upon the subject, but for the belief that in analyzing these claims I shall be able to suggest a plan by which they may be adjusted. Looking at the question as one of primary importance not only to America but to the world, I cannot address this letter more appropriately than to yourself. Intended only to promote the practical and immediate welfare of all the interests to which it refers, it might be submitted indifferently to a representative of Northern or Southern views.
