Summary "Speeches, Addresses, and Occasional Sermons, Volume 3 (of 3)" by Theodore Parker is a collection of oratory and sermons written in the mid-19th century. The volume features significant discourses on moral and political issues of the time, particularly focusing on the themes of freedom and slavery, which were crucial topics in American society during the lead-up to the Civil War. The opening of this work introduces an important speech given by Parker at Faneuil Hall in Boston on March 25, 1850, where he addresses the crisis of slavery facing the United States. He passionately argues against the extension of slavery and the moral implications it has for the nation. The speech highlights the critical nature of the decisions being made in Congress regarding new territories, slavery, and the responsibility of citizens to engage in this moral struggle, pointing out that the outcome could determine the future of millions yet unborn. Parker’s eloquent rhetoric emphasizes the distinction between the party of slavery and the party of freedom, framing the issue as a profound moral battle that transcends political divisions.
