Nehemiah Adams
Nehemiah Adams (1806–1878) was an American clergyman and author, known for his controversial writings on slavery. He gained attention for his book "A South-Side View of Slavery" (1854), which defended slavery from a Southern perspective after a visit to the South. The book provoked strong criticism from abolitionists who viewed his pro-slavery stance as morally wrong. Despite this, Adams was a prolific writer and remained active in religious and social issues throughout his life.
