first edition Pamphlet
1860 · New Orleans
by Palmer, Benjamin Morgan
1860 Thanksgiving Sermon of New Orleans Presbyterian Minister
"The Providential Trust" of the South "is to conserve and to perpetuate the institution of domestic slavery as now existing."
"We defend the cause of God and religion. The Abolition spirit is undeniably atheistic."
One of the Most Influential Secessionist Speeches, Delivered Three Weeks After Lincoln's Election
Pamphlet in original wraps, spine reinforced with cloth tape some time ago, vertical crease and other light wear, paper remnants adhering to outer back wrap, faint blindstamp of Massachusetts Historical Society on page 12.
First printing of this oft reprinted secessionist, pro-slavery speech by a prominent racist Calvinist. Times do change, though. In 2021 a New Orleans park named for Palmer was rededicated to jazz patriarch Ellis Marsalis. (Inventory #: 18941156)
