Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Slavery Is it not plain that there is a providence in all this? We have a duty to perform, we are loaded with responsibility for our enslaved brethren, as well as for our kindred who hold slaves, and so Heaven has righteously decreed that we shall think and act upon it. Truly, we ought not to avoid the subject. It is unworthy of Americans to shrink from inquiry as to our condition, our prospects, and our duty. Let us meet the subject like men. Truth will not harm us certainly not if we obey it. Shame on the man who thinks or admits that the free institutions in which we glory, cannot stand the test of truth and free inquiry. What is a slave? A slave is a person held in slavery. We are never to forget that the slaves are human beings. Their black complexion and degraded condition often incline us to overlook this fact. We talk about the African race, but the slaves are of the human race. If all other proofs were set aside, the unmistakable evidence that they partake in the consequences of Adams fall, would settle the question. God selected their ancestors as one of the four men who were preserved in Noah's Ark, to repeople the desolated earth, after the deluge, and Jesus Christ came to seek them among the lost sheep for whose salvation he laid down his life. They are our brethren by descent from the same parent, by being found in the same general depravity, and by sharing in the mercy of the same Savior.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery in the United States Hitherto, almost all that has appeared on the subject has been on one side. The horrors of sla very have been depicted in such glowing colours as to blind us to the consequences that may, and assuredly will result from attempting to get rid of it in the summary manner demanded by the advo cates of immediate abolition, who, one might al most be tempted to believe, consider it the only evil existing in the world. Regard to the honour of our country justice to a great body of as upright, honourable, and humane citizens as any nation can boast; respect to the laws of the land, and rev erence for the constitution, seem to demand that the reverse of the picture should be seen; that the mischiefs to be remedied, the cost of the remedy, and the good to be gained by its application, should be camly considered, in order that all may, if they please, see for themselves and decide for them selves, whether, ih attempting to get rid of one evil, we may not inflict others of far greater magnitude whether, in short, by applying rash and unskilful remedies, we may not kill the patient.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Freedom and Slavery What had these two voyages to do with each other? Everything. From them came two great movements hostile to each other, and extending over two and a half centuries Of our history. The Treasurer began the course of slavery; the Mayflower, that Of wage labor. From the introduction Of slavery in 1619, until its abolition in 1865, there was not an hour when these hostile forces did not gather strength or meet in Open conflict. For the first two centuries, from 1619 to 1819, both Sides gathered strength for the contest. From 1820 to 1860, the two groups met in intellectual and moral conflict for the possession Of new territory and political power. But the Civil War closed this long conflict. By a thousand battles, four years Of great endeavor, billions of debt, and millions of armed men, two hundred and forty-six years Of shameful history were ended and four million slaves were set free.

This book was released on 2015-07-05 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Issue, Presented in a Series of Letters on Slavery Rev. Silas McKeen: Dear Brother, - The subject to which you particularly call my attention is no longer a "delicate subject." I am willing to say nothing to you in relation to it, which I would not desire to say to every minister, every man and woman in New England. The time has come when, as you say, "Something, by way of light and persuasion on the subject of Slavery, must be done," - and I may add, not for the South alone. I regret that I cannot answer your very candid letter, before the "Convention on the subject of slavery," which, you say, is to be held in Portland on the 12th inst. That is now impossible. But I will pray the Author of all light to direct you, and I trust the candor expressed in your letter, and which I know pervades your character, will characterize the meeting, and that it may result in great good to the poor slaves, for whose benefit it is called. It appears to me that two inquiries, when you are met, will exhaust the subject. First, What can we do? And then, What ought we to do? It is plain that you ought not to do what you cannot do, - probably not all even that you can do. You cannot interfere with the subject by legislation, at least, so far as the respective states are concerned. That is settled by the Constitution. You can, however, seek an amendment of the Constitution. This is provided for in the instrument itself. And only in that method prescribed for amending the Constitution, can you act on the subject through the government.

Download or read book Slavery Classic Reprint written by William Ellery Channing and published by . This book was released on 2015-09-27 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery The first question to be proposed by a rational being is, not what is profitable, but what is Right. Duty must be primary, prominent, most conspicuous, among the objects of human thought and pursuit. If we cast it down from its supremacy, if we inquire first for our interests, and then for our duties, we shall certainly err. We can never see the Right clearly and fully, but by making it our first concern. No judgment can be just or wise, but that which is built on the conviction of the paramount worth and importance of Duty. This is the fundamental truth, the supreme law of reason; and the mind, which does not start from this in its inquiries into human affairs, is doomed to great, perhaps fatal error. The Right is the supreme good, and includes all other goods. In seeking and adhering to it, we secure our true and only happiness. All prosperity, not founded on it, is built on sand.

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.
