This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Letter to the People of the United States Touching the Matter of Slavery Fellow-Citizens of the United States: It may seem strange and presumptuous that an obscure man, known even by name to but very few in the land, should write you a public letter on a theme so important as this of Slavery. You may call it foolish and rash. Say that if you will; perhaps you are right. I have no name, no office, no rank amongst men, which entitle my thoughts to your consideration. I am but one of the undistinguished millions, who live unnoticed, and die remembered only by their family and friends; humble and obscure. If any of the famous men accustomed to sway the opinions of the political parties and the theological sects, had suitably treated this matter, showing you the facts and giving manly counsel, I should not have presumed to open my mouth. It is their silence which prompts me to speak. I am no aspirant for office or for fame; have nothing to gain by your favor; fear nothing from your frown.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from No Compromise With Slavery: An Address Delivered in the Broadway Tabernacle, New York, February 14, 1854 I. I am a believer in that portion of the Declara tion of American Independence in which it is set forth, as among self-evident - truths, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Hence, I am an Abolitionist. Hence, I cannot but regard oppression in every form - and most of all, that which turns a man into a thing - with indigna tion and abhorrence. 'not to cherish these feelings would be recreancy to principle. They who desire me to be dumb on the subject of Slavery, unless I will open my mouth in its defence, ask me to give the lie to my professions, to degrade my manhood.

Download or read book Address on the Duty of the Slave States in the Present Crisis Classic Reprint written by J. E. Carnes and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address, on the Duty of the Slave States in the Present Crisis Before proceeding to do so, let me state the issue. It has been done for me in a late speech by Judge Roberts of our Supreme Court: "The great question before the American people is: shall the institution of slavery be put upon a sure basis of gradual extinction. The Northern controlling majorities say it shall. The South say it shall not. And that is the issue." The man who would dispute that statement of the question is so far behind the times that it would take all night to get back to him. I proceed: in the same speech it is shown that the measures adopted at the North for the extinction of slavery have now gained advantages which "cannot be successfully opposed, or averted, except by prompt State action, and that we are justified in pursuing that remedy to any extent that may be necessary to secure our endangered rights." After showing that a State Convention may be called, with or without the sanction of the State authorities, Judge Roberts teaches that "it may declare the people absolved from their fealty to the General Government." He further says: "The remedy itself (that is, secession) may be adopted conditionally, for the purpose of placing the State on equal terms in treating for an adjustment of satisfactory guarantees against future violations of its rights, or absolutely for the purpose of final separation." This I regard as very important, because it affords a "platform" upon which all can unite. Those who think "something should be done," can here find a decided position - leaving time and the progress of events to determine whether they will demand "final separation" or yield to such proposals for continuing the Union as the North may choose to make. Any less decided ground than this, I regard as very unsafe at the present time. As to the fears of precipitation which may be entertained by some, I cannot better express myself than in the noble, generous and just words of Judge Roberts: "I have no fears that inconsiderate rashness will control them. They have pondered upon the issues of this crisis long and well. It is not unexpected. They have their minds made up about it. There is no agrarian spirit in this country. There is no war of classes. There is no conflict between labor and capital. Our people are not asking or seeking to extort any favors from the government to themselves, or deprive other of any rights. They have no motive or desire for a social rupture at home. Their excitement arises from an entirely opposite cause - a high resolve now to throw themselves into the breach, not to destroy but to protect rights; not to destroy property, but to protect property; not to destroy life, but to make life worth having; not to produce discord, but to end it. Their excitement is not a shallow, noisy riffle, but a deep irresistible current, founded on the firmest conviction of the mind. I do not distrust the people of my State. I will not yield to any argument founded on their want of discretion, want of intelligence, want of integrity to act for themselves, in a serious emergency, and to act now upon it."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lincoln and Slavery: An Address Delivered Before the Student Body of Fisk University, Nashville, Tennessee, on Emancipation Day, January 1, 1920 It is my purpose, upon the next meeting of Congress, to again recommend the adoption of a practical measure tendering pecuniary aid to the free acceptance or rejection of all slave states, so called, the people whereof may not then be in rebellion against the United States, and which States may then have voluntarily adopted, or thereafter may voluntarily adopt, immediate or gradual abolishment of slavery within their respective limits. True to his prediction, Lincoln, in the Annual Message of 1862, proposed to Congress that it should submit an Amendment to the Constitution providing that compensation in the form of Government Bonds should be made to any slave-holding state that should abolish slavery within thirty-seven years, that is, prior to the year 1900, and that freed slaves should remain free and their masters should be compensated.

This book was released on 2017-11-28 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Address to the Abolitionists of Massachusetts, on the Subject of Political Action We, however, value political action, chiefly as a means of agitating the subject. The great support of slavery, -without which it could not stand in the United States, two years, - is a cor rupt public sentiment, among those who are not slaveholders. The current doctrine of the North is, that slavery is, indeed, an evil, and if south. Ern society were to be reconstructed, slavery should, by no means, he introduced as an ele. Ment; but that in present circumstances, and with a view to probable consequences, it cannot reasonably be expected of slaveholders to give up their slaves. This is what we, suppose to he meant, by people's being opposed to slavery in the abstract.' About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Scott of Fauquier: On Certain Resolutions Touching the Action of Congress on the Subject of Slavery The resolutions under consideration rashly proposed this hazard. I object to them for that reason. I cannot say, as they require, that con gress has no power under the constitution to prohibit the introduction of slavery into the newly acquired territories. Mr. Monroe, it is said, took the opinion of his cabinet on this question, and they unanimous ly advised that congress possessed the power. The distinguished se nator from South Carolina, it is known, was a member of that cabinet. They proceed upon an unsound construction of the constitution, and declare a principle impairing its force. Before taking our seats in this assembly we severally took an oath to support the constitution of the United States. We will violate that oath in passing these resolu trons.

Download or read book Up from Slavery written by Booker T. Washington and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Booker T. Washington wrote Up From Slavery as a central part of his strategy for the equality of both Native and African Americans. Its title is not just a description of his own life but an exhortation to the reader. His philosophy of self improvement through education resonated so strongly with the society of the time that even early reviews recommended the book as strongly for white people as for black, a judgment which still holds today. Slavery itself was actually a relatively short part of Washington's life, and the same is true of the book. The effects are fascinating however, for example the young Booker did not even know his own age. From the third chapter the focus is on Washington's rise from slavery, with a great focus on education and educational projects. Critics consider Washington to have been too timid in his search for equality and too full of egotism in the writing of this book, but there is no doubt that he was an important figure in the early civil rights movement and many have found inspiration in his words. No matter your race or class this is an inspirational text and should be considered required reading for any American, or indeed anyone with an interest in civil rights.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address of the New-England Anti-Slavery Convention to the Slaves of the United States: With an Address to President Tyler, Adopted in Faneuil Hall, May 31, 1843 In the first place, then, you are men created in the same divine image as all other men - as good, as noble, as free, by birth and destiny, as your masters as much entitled to 'life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, ' as those who cruelly enslave you - made but a little lowe1 than the an gels of heaven, and destined to an immortal state of existemo great human family. These truths you must believe and understand, if you desire to have your chains brok en, and your oppression come to a speedy end. Know this, also, that God never made a slave master, nor a slave. He abhors cruelty and injustice in every form, and his judgments have been poured out on those nations that have refused to let the oppressed go free. He pities all who are sighing in bondage, and will work out their redemption, at whatever cost to those who are crushing them in the dust. He 'has made of one blood all nations of men, to dwell on all the face of the earth' - not to war with each other - not to defraud, degrade, torment, persecute, or oppress each other - but to enjoy equal rights and perfect liberty, to love and do good to each other, to dwell together in unity. Lie is no re specter of persons, but has given to all the stamp of his divinity, and his tender mercies are over all the works of his hands. Thus saith the Lord, Execute judgment and righteousness, and deliver the spoiled out of the hand of the oppressor; and do no wrong, do 110 violence to the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, neither shed innocent blood.' Such is your Creator, Father, and God. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-04 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Hon.: George W. Julian, of Indiana, on the Slavery Question, Delivered in the House of Representatives, May 14, 1850 In some of the northern States, colored people enjoy equal political rights with the whites. In nearly all of them they are regarded as citizens. But they cannot visit South Carolina, Louisiana, and I believe some three or four other southern States, without being thrown into prison; and if they are not removed from the State by the per sons in whose care or employ they came, they are sold into slavery. This is a most palpable violation of the Constitution of' the United States, which provides that the citizens of each State shall be entitled to all the privileges and immuni ties of citizens ofthe several States. And when we send men among you to appeal peaceably to your own tribunals in behalf of such citizens men honored by their public standing, and clothed with official authority for their mission, they are driven out of your cities by mob menaces at the risk of their lives.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Speech of Horace Mann, of Massachusetts, on the Subject of Slavery in the Territories, and the Consequences of a Dissolution of the Union: Delivered in the United States House of Representatives, February 15, 1850 And again; those of us at the North who resist slavery extension, who mean to withstand its spread beyond the limits where it now exists, are denounced as Abolitionists. This epithet is applied to us as a term of reproach and obloquy as a brand and stigma upon our characters and principles. No distinction is made between those few individuals among us who desire to abolish the Constitution of the United States, and that great body of the people, who, while their allegiance to this Constitution is unshaken, mean also to maintain their allegiance to truth and to duty, in withstanding the hitherto onward march of slavery. Among the latter class, Mr. Collamer, the Postmaster General, is called an Abolitionist. Mr. John Quincy Adams was denounced as an arch abolitionist. Every man who advocates the Jefferson proviso, against the spread of slavery, is so called; and if an unspeakable abhorrence of this institution, and the belief that it is the second greatest enormity which the oppressor, in his power, ever committed against the oppressed, in his weakness, being inferior only to that ecclesiastical domination which has trampled upon the religious freedom of man, I say, if this abhorrence of slavery, and this belief in its criminality, entitle a man to be denominated an Abolitionist, then I rejoice in my unquestionable right to the name.
