This unique republishing of the 1867 R. L. Dabney classic apologia for the South has been annotated by editor Gary Lee Roper, a former pastor and Christian educator. English meanings for the many Latin phrases used by Dabney are given for greater understanding of Dabney's thesis. In addition, a related bonus essay is included by the editor. Reason as to why R. L. Dabney wrote this book, and why it is considered his premier work are given. In this apologia, Dabney tells why he thinks that abolitionism was nothing more than a type of unbelief – of man standing in judgment of God’s Word – and that that unbelief had been spreading and growing since the Jacobinist French Revolution.
