THE HIRELING AND THE SLAVE, CHICORA, AND OTHER POEMS. A defense of southern slavery in the form of a story in verse. "The malignant abuse lavished on the slaveholders of America by writers in this country and England can be accounted for but in one way consistently with any degree of charitable consideration for the slanderers. They have no knowledge of the thing abused" - from the Preface.
