at http://www.eBookForge.net  a"Cotton Is King, and Pro-Slavery Arguments" by E. N. Elliott is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. This work delves into the complex and contentious issues surrounding slavery in the United States, particularly from the perspective of Southern pro-slavery advocates. It is likely aimed at defending the institution of slavery in the wake of rising abolitionist sentiments and serves to present various arguments supporting the economic and social viability of slavery in the Southern states.  The opening of "Cotton Is King" sets a serious tone, addressing the deep division in American society caused by the slavery debate. Elliott critiques the growing estrangement between North and South, emphasizing the dangers posed to American liberties and governmental stability. He outlines the historical context of slavery, highlighting the emergence of a political party focused solely on opposing the interests of the South. Additionally, he defines slavery in a way that distinguishes it from chattel status, arguing that enslaved individuals in the South have mutual obligations with their masters. His introduction seeks to frame slavery as a benevolent institution, one necessary for the economic prosperity of the South and beneficial for both enslaved individuals and society as a whole, thereby laying the groundwork for the subsequent discussions and arguments from various pro-slavery writers included in the compilation.
