1856 Liberty & Slavery 1^ed Confederate Bledsoe anti Slave Abolition Civil War

Albert Taylor Bledsoe was a 19^th-century Confederate officer and author who is primarily remembered, not for his military acumen, but for his staunch support of slavery in America. He wrote a book, “Liberty and Slavery”, which, according to Brophy, was

“the most extensive philosophical treatment of slavery ever produced by a Southern academic.”

Bledsoe argued for the continuation and extension of slavery by claiming that liberty allowed for humans to hold slaves.
