Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Two Letters on Slavery in the United States Sir: - I received a short time ago, a letter from the Rev. Willouguby M.Dickinson, dated at your residence, Playford Hall, near Ipswich, 26 ih Nov., 1844, in which was inclosed a copy of your Circular Letter addressed to professing Christians in our Northern States, having no concern wiih Slavery, and to others there. I presume that Mr. Dickinsons letter was written with your knowledge, and the document inclosed with your consent and approbation. I therefore feel that there is no impropriety in my addressing my reply directly to yourself, especially as there is nothing in Mr. Dickinsons communication, requiring serious notice. Having abundant leisure, it will be a recreation to me to devote a portion of it to an examination and free discussion of the question of Slavery as it exists in our Southern States: and since you have thrown down the gauntlet to me, I do not hesitate to take it up. Familiar as you have been with the discussions of this subject in all its aspects, and under all the excitements it has occasioned for sixty years past, I may not be able to present much that will be new to you. Nor ought I to indulge the hope of materially affecting the opinions you have so long cherished, and so zealously promulgated.

This book was released on 2017-01-01 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Letter to a Friend in the Slave State If then the forces are of nearly equal numbers, and equally well led, how ought we to count the chances, the question being the conquest of the Southern States? In Missouri, Kentucky and other States, where, divided in opinion, they resist the secession movement, Northern armies find a coun try in which, no more being necessary than to give military aid to the well-affected part of the population, conquest is not in question: but the vast region comprising Western Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Eastern Virginia, have to be brought to submission by the sword. I do not mean, by the sword, the sort of ruin like that of the iron pot coming against the earthen one - which must ensue to them at last, as cc-terminous neighbors of a hostile people, stouter, stronger, richer and more numerous than themselves - but military subjugation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Letter to a Friend in a Slave State My dear - Everybody recollects the turn given to the idea that the fence of the law cannot be made perfect, when the Englishman said he never saw an Act of Parliament he could not drive his coach through; now signalized, alas! but a thousand years to soon, in the illustrious instance of the Constitution of the United States. Any one or more of the States which drove into this great work may drive out again by the Southern road, and we are taught by lessons, both Legislative and Executive, that as long as the States which remain to us are united, the Constitution is unwounded, though the Northern chariot and scythes be driven through every clause of it. What the South accomplishes at a blow, we do piecemeal. Eight millions of people hold that, if a State had called a convention and asked of the Federal Government a boon, which was refused, or being refused nothing whatever, had expressed a preference to live alone, they might make their act of constitutional secession, and bow themselves out of the Union. Nor would it be possible to exaggerate the heresies of those that are leading the fortunes of the other eighteen millions, who assail, in his liberty and property, the plainest rights of the citizen; who mean to consolidate the Government, if they can, and whose schemes for the consolidation of large parts of it, are already before Congress. These are the extremes of thought and action that accompany national calamity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Letters on Slavery Classic Reprint written by William Dickson and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters on Slavery My original design, was to lay before the Public a free and impartial sketch of negro slavery as it now exists in the island of Barbadoes; to show how it would be affected by the abolition of the slave-trade; and to prove by arguments, founded on facts, the natural equality of the natives of the immense continent of Africa to the rest of mankind. - I am conscious, I have not wilfully misstated or exaggerated any one circumstance; and I have written with the caution of a man who expects to meet with the most pertinacious contradiction. - To give as agreeable an air, as I could, to a subject in itself dull and disgusting, I have preferred the looser form of letters to the formality of a regular treatise. - The sketch I have given of the state of slavery in Jamaica was no part of my plan, but was drawn after that plan was compleated. This I hope will apologize for some repetitions in the latter part of my book. The name and authority of an author have perhaps greater weight with some readers than his arguments. Such persons regard a proportion as true, not so much because a celebrated man has demonstrated it as because he has affirmed it. Those undoubtedly are bad arguments which require foreign aid; but knowing that, on account of the obscurity of an author, even good arguments do not always operate with their whole intrinsic force, I have had frequent recourse to works of acknowledged merit, quotations from which, I am sensible, form the best part of my book.
