Negroes and Negro "Slavery:" the first an inferior race: the latter its normal…
"Negroes and Negro 'Slavery:' the first an inferior race: the latter its normal condition" by J. H. Van Evrie, M.D. is a controversial treatise written in the mid-19th century. The work argues against the abolitionist movement, asserting that it is based on erroneous beliefs about racial equality and the nature of slavery. The author positions the black race as inherently inferior and maintains that slavery is the natural condition for those ofAfrican descent. At the start of the book, the author presents a preface discussing the political and social turmoil in America amid the rising anti-slavery sentiment and the onset of the Civil War. He critiques the abolitionist movement as rooted in delusion and foreign influence, particularly from European ideals. Van Evrie aims to provide a justification for the existing social order in the southern United States, asserting that it is rooted in natural law and necessity rather than moral failing. He sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the supposed differences between races, intending to argue for the social subordination of African Americans as not just preferable but essential for societal stability.
