The sermon elaborates upon the five types of slavery defined in the Bible, showing where the form of slavery in the South violated these principles. An analysis is given of the failure of Dabney to consistently apply these principles in his defense of Southern slavery. An emphasis is made that this failure brought about God's judgment upon the South and the North in the War Between the States.

I have ever found them the meanest and basest, the most cruel and cowardly, of all others." The complicity of so many otherwise godly men like Dabney in the "peculiar instituion" is indeed tragic and a reproach to the era.
