| 520 | _a"The Conflict with Slavery" by John Greenleaf Whittier is a political and social polemic written in the early 19th century. The text addresses the moral and ethical implications of slavery, advocating for its immediate abolition and challenging the structures that uphold it. Whittier critiques the justifications for slavery and advocates for a deeper social conscience, calling upon individuals and institutions to take an active stance against this "great evil." The opening of the work presents a powerful condemnation of slavery, addressing both the moral culpability of slaveholders and the passive complicity of those whoacknowledge the evil of slavery but do not act against it. Whittier argues that mere sympathy for the plight of slaves is inadequate, insisting that true justice requires tangible action for abolition. He traverses through various arguments against the system of slavery, highlighting the hypocrisy in political and religious institutions that condone it while professing freedom and equality. The text is a call to arms for individuals to confront and dismantle the injustices inherent in a society that permits human beings to be treated as property.
