Published in 1836, this work by the Unitarian preacher William Ellery Channing (1780-1842) reveals the difficulties he had in questioning a practice with which he had grown up. Although firmly against the institution of slavery, he thought slaves incapable of governing themselves, and slaveholders deserving of consideration and patience.
