Synopsis:
Excerpt from Our World, or the Slaveholder's Daughter

IN presenting this work to the public, we may be permitted to say, that we are fully conscious of the grave charges of misrepresenting society, and mis construing facts, which will be laid at our door, by our friends of the South, and its very peculiar insti tution but earnestly do we enjoin all such champions Of things as they are, to read and well digest what we have set before them; believing that they will find the truth even stranger than fiction and, as an incentive to the noble exertions of those, either North or South, who would rid our country of its darkest, foulest blot, we would say, that we have here attempted to give a true picture of Southern so ciety in its various aspects, and that, in our judg ment, the institution Of Slavery is directly chargea ble with the various moral, social and political evils which we have detailed.
