Printed Booklet entitled, "The Integrity of Our National Union vs. Abolitionism: ...A Speech On The Subject of Slavery..." by George Junkin, printed by R.P. Donogh of Cincinnati, Ohio, 1843, 79pp. 12mo., entitled "An Argument from the Bible, In Proof of the Position That Believing Masters Ought to Be Honored and Obeyed by their Own Servants, and Tolerated in, Not Excommunicated from, the Church of God..." Junkin twists and turns Biblical quotations to show the merits of slavery and the evils of abolitionism. He knew what would happen if antislavery forces prevailed. In a prescient statement, Junkin writes: " ...should the holding of slaves be made a crime... a civil, and perhaps a servile war, must be the consequence? Junkin thought he saw the future (he practically named the Civil War), but he was clearly wrong, despite his Biblical backup. Fine condition.
