Información del libro
It is asserted that domestic slavery has always been a constructive social element: history shows that it has always been destructive. History authoritatively establishes the fact that slavery is the most corroding social disease, and one, too, which acts most fatally on the slaveholding element in a community.Not disease, but health, is the normal condition of man's physical organism: not oppression but freedom is the normal condition of human society. The laws of history are as absolute as the laws of nature or the laws of hygiene.Contents: EgyptiansPhœnicians Libyans Carthaginians Hebrews, or Beni-Israel Nabatheans Assyrians and Babylonians Medes and Persians Aryas—Hindus Chinese Greeks Romans—Republicans Romans—Political Slaves Christianity: its Churches and Creeds Gauls Germans Longobards—Italians Franks—French Britons, Anglo-Saxons, EnglishSlavi, Slavonians, Slaves, Russians
