"To a Southern Slaveholder" is an anti-slavery essay written by the Unitarian minister Theodore Parker in 1848, as the abolition crisis was heating up in the United States. The tone of the essay is akin to that of someone correcting someone else about a fact they got wrong. However, Parker says several times throughout that is not trying to antagonize slave owners and that he is their friend.

Parker apostrophe ce dernier, relevant ses contradictions: alors qu'en tant que chrétien, il justifie l'esclavage en s'appuyant sur l'Ancien Testament, parole de Dieu, il refuse les rites de ce même Ancien Testament, comme le Shabbat par exemple, en arguant que le Christ les a abrogés au nom du même Dieu.

  • To a Southern Slaveholder (littéralement, « À un propriétaire d'esclaves du Sud ») est une lettre ouverte écrite par l'abolitionniste Theodore Parker, en 1848, à un esclavagiste fictif du sud des États-Unis. Parker apostrophe ce dernier, relevant ses contradictions: alors qu'en tant que chrétien, il justifie l'esclavage en s'appuyant sur l'Ancien Testament, parole de Dieu, il refuse les rites de ce même Ancien Testament, comme le Shabbat par exemple, en arguant que le Christ les a abrogés au nom du même Dieu. Parker invite alors son destinataire à bien voir que le christianisme ne consiste pas à croire aux histoires rapportées dans l'Ancien Testament, mais à aimer son frère comme soi-même et à aimer Dieu de tout son cœur. Il conclut en relevant qu'il n'a lui-même rien à gagner à l'abolition de l'esclavage, si ce n'est quelques noms d'oiseaux qu'on lui adressera, et qu'il ne tient pas son correspondant pour son ennemi.

The tone of the essay is akin to that of someone correcting someone else about a fact they got wrong. However, Parker says several times throughout that is not trying to antagonize slave owners and that he is their friend. Parker points out flaws in the proslavery idea that slavery is allowed by the Bible. He argues that African Americans are not descendants of Noah's son Ham, who was cursed by his father to be a slave, as anti-abolitionists claimed. Parker goes further to say that even though the Old Testament does allow slavery, the creation of the New Testament ended such clauses. (en)
