Excerpt from The Yankee Slave-Dealer; Or an Abolitionist Down South: A Tale for the Times
The following story was suggested by reading a popular work of fiction, abusive of Southern slavery, and the more recent and bitter attacks of the system on the part of a blind partisan and fanatical press. Though the subject has been ably defended by others, it occurred to the author that something on the plan here offered might present a phase of the question perhaps before unnoticed, and, while not devoid of interest, still prove an auxiliary in the propagation and defence of correct principles.
In conformity with the plan prescribed, nothing has been said as to the right of slavery, socially or politically, and but little morally – the author contenting himself by introducing into a story designed mainly to entertain, a few points bearing on the general question.
