Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery in the United States of America And again, there are those whose views are expressed by General Lane, in a letter from the Territory of Kansas, January, 1858, wherein he says - I suppose you know that the feeling here is strong against any Congressional Enabling Act. We want no interference with our affairs by Congress feeling that we are fully competent to settle these matters ourselves. We want to be let alone.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Slavery and Colour The sight of a few Slave Sales has a wonderful efi'ect in awakening the feelings on the subject of Slavery. The thing is seen to be an undeniable reality - no mere invention of the novelist. From time to time, the spectacle of an auction-stand on which one man is selling another, flashes back upon the mind. For three years, I have been haunted by recollections of that saddening scene, and taken a gradually deepening interest in American Slavery -its present condition, its mysterious future. Having already referred to the subject, I should not again have intruded on public notice, but for the recent exciting discussions concerning Slavery, the protracted struggle in Kansas, and the probability of further contests between Slavery and Freedom, consequent on the organisation of new States in the southern section of the Union.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Slavery The following article was partially published in the "Edinburgh Review," during my absence from Europe. Considerable portions of the matter contained in the proofs, as I finally settled them, were omitted. It is now reprinted unmutilated, indeed verbatim, from the revise as it left my hands. On reperusal I have found nothing to soften or to retrench, though I could add and strengthen much. To bring down the story of American Slavery to the present time, I have reprinted the speech of Mr. Sumner in the Senate of the United States, on the 19th and 20th of May last, and a brief notice of the frightful scenes which followed it. The moral and intellectual character of Mr. Sumner has long been admired by Europe. To sympathy for his courage is now added sympathy for his calamity. I cannot believe that he has suffered in vain.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln and the Downfall of American Slavery HE character of Abraham Lincoln, as the years pass, becomes grander and more heroic; and, as is usual when a commanding figure slowly rises conspicuous in the history of humanity, traditions and myths are already beginning to cluster around his illustrious personality. The simplest truth is always best; and the simpler and more direct the biographical sketch of Abraham Lincoln, the more deeply will his image be impressed upon the heart of that common people Whom he loved so well and of which he was the noblest representative. In this book it has been the author's aim to present such a picture of Lincoln and his times as shall leave upon the mind of the reader a definite and authoritative likeness of the man whose name is now enrolled highest among the types of our national ideals.relati was 3.

This book was released on 2015-07-03 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Slavery, as Viewed and Acted on by the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America For more than a century, after its introduction, slavery seems to have been accepted as a fact, in the social and civil condition of this country, which the Presbyterian church was called to consider with careful enlightenment, rather than hasty legislation; in view of her mission, to expound and apply great principles, before she ventured upon the enforcement of discipline. Accordingly, from the beginning, her utterances on the subject have been mature, comprehensive, and consistent. There is not one deliverance, to be found on record, which we would suppress or conceal. It is true, that, in seeking to moderate the rage of human passions, and guard against fanatical extremes, she has met this and that prevailing agitation, with special forms of declaration, that some have reproached as departure from earlier and more formal enunciation of principles: but they only need to be brought into one connected view, in the light of different times, and the changing circumstances which evoked them, to appear all, but varying aspects of the same determination.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery and Servitude in the Colony of North Carolina Conditions in the South were favorable to slavery. Large stretches Of fertile land, warm Climate, at once congenial to the negroe's and enervating to the whites, and in some places unhealthy regions where white men did not care to work; all these helped to draw slavery to America. Planted at first in the Spanish possessions of the West Indies, it spread as soon as the mainland was settled along the entire coast from Jamestown, both northward and southward. The method by which this extension was accomplished is inter esting. It may be divided for our. Purposes into two stages, an experimental stage and a stage Of diffusion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Slave-Trade: An Account of Its Origin, Growth and Suppression This history of the American slave-trade grew out of a study of the history of the American navy. The navy was in a way connected with the slave-trade, but the subject was so large that only the briefest mention of what the navy did on the slave coast could be made in The History of Our Navy. The discovery that our naval ships, in forces ranging from a single schooner to a frigate squadron, had cruised on the coast of Africa at intervals during a period of nearly forty years for the proclaimed purpose of suppressing the slave-trade without accomplish ing so much as a restriction of it, determined me to give the subject a separate consideration. What I have gathered I have set down here as well as I could. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Slavery Distinguished From the Slavery of English Theorists, and Justified by the Law of Nature The first article of the amended Constitution of the United States declares that Congress Shall make no law respecting the establishment of religion or prohibit ing the exercise thereof. This declaration is justly dear to the hearts of the American people. It secures to every citizen the enjoyment of liberty of conscience, or the sacred right to worship God according to the dictates of his own judgment, with none on earth to make him afraid. It puts the various denominations of relig ion. On an equal footing, protecting all but showing preference to none; and thus saves the people from a prolific source of jealousy and discord. The dictate of practical wisdom, it is at once the charter of religious lib crty and a preventive of religious dissension.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Slavery: And the Means of Its Abolition More than forty years ago the writer of the following pages read Wilberforce's publications on the slave trade, in which were described the various methods of procuring the slaves In Africa, the horrors of the middle passage, and their cruel treatment in the West Indies. In perusing these statements of that great philanthropist and friend of the injured African race, his feelings became, in some measure, enlisted in favor of the colored people of our land, and in opposition to the slavery upheld by our nanon. He was never sensible of feeling the prejudice against color, so often manifested; but, in his intercourse with colored persons, treated them, as he would others. And having them for many years as neighbors, and, not un frequently, as hired help, they were admitted to eat with the family at the same table. In 1824 he was invited to attend a political celebration on the 4th of July. In declining the invitation, he noticed the inconsistency of our conduct in celebrating our liberty, founded upon the principle that all men are created free and equal, and proclaiming this self-evident truth, and yet holding hundreds of thousands of our fellow men in degrading bondage.

This book was released on 2018-03-07 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery and the Domestic Slave-Trade in the United States: In a Series of Letters Addressed to the Executive Committee of the American Union for the Relief and Improvement of the Colored Race The American Union for the Relief and Im provement of the Colored Race, was formed in Boston, in January, 1835. An exposition of the principles and plans of the Union was soon after published by the Executive Committee. One of the principal objects of the Society, as stated in that paper, is to collect and publish information of an authentic character respect ing Slavery. It is conceived that there is yet no inconsiderable dearth of well-prepared and trust-worthy facts respecting this great national evil. It is obvious that it cannot be peacefully removed, except as it is seen in its true light. It is in prosecution of this great branch of their labors, that the Committee present thefollowing Report concerning Slavery and the domestic slave-trade as it exists in Maryland, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Coming, as it does, from a gentleman who is well acquainted with the whole subject of Slavery, from an actual residence of a number of years in a slave-holding state, it will be read with much interest and profit. It gives, in the opinion of the Committee, an accurate account of Slavery, and of the public sentiment respect ing it in the district of country visited. As such, it is respectfully commended to the atten tion of all the friends of the African race. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Slavery in the United States written by Ephraim Peabody and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-13 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Slavery in the United States: Its Evils, Alleviations, and Remedies The first Of August, 1838, is memorable throughout the world, as the day on which eight hundred thousand human beings in the British West Indies had the shackles of the slave struck from their limbs and were restored to their rights as men. It was a great day for mankind, one Of those historical days which measure the progress Of the human race. And yet the West Indian slaves, instead Of being liberated by their masters, owed their freedom to the votes Of a Parliament which held its sittings three thousand miles across the ocean, and in which the masters were not represented. England generously contributed as a partial compensation for the slaves, which burden fell, in the shape Of an increase to the public debt, on a large and rich nation; but a far larger pecuniary loss, as such property is reckoned, fell upon the slaveholder. Far be it from us to detract from the merits Of this great event, whose nobleness lights up the dark track Of history, and must be an inspiring example to all times. The world cannot afford to forget it. But let us remember that, if the emanei patiou Of the slaves in the West Indies, by an act Of the British Par liament, was a triumph Of the philanthropy of England, similar acts of emancipation by the legislatures of the northern States, years before, and the liberation by their immediate owners of so many slaves at the South, are not less decided proofs Of the philanthropy of America. Under the circumstances, the existence Of more than free blacks in the United States, who owe their freedom to the free choice Of those who were the immediate owners of themselves or their fathers.

Download or read book A Brief Notice of American Slavery and the Abolition Movement Classic Reprint written by John Bishop Estlin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Notice of American Slavery, and the Abolition Movement The hopeless condition of the Slave, both as regards his men tal improvement, and his eventual restoration to his rights as a man, may be judged of by a bare mention of a few of the laws of the Southern States. These laws somewhat vary in the different States; but the following will be found in some or other of them. Teaching Slaves to read is prohibited under severe penalties, fines and imprisonment, and especially if the free coloured peo ple presume to teach: in Louisiana, death is the legal penalty for the second offence. A father may be flogged for teaching his own child to read the Bible.* Religious assemblies of Slaves are illegal; they may be broken up, and the negroes flogged without trial for being present. The law affords no protection to the marriage of Slaves; masters may at any time enforce a separation between husband and wife. If a free coloured man enter a Southern port on ship board, he is liable to be taken to prison and kept there until the ship sails away; and if the cap tain should fail to pay the expences incurred by his detention, the coloured man is liable to be sold to perpetual Slavery. As sisting Slaves to escape is an offence visited with severe penalties, such as long imprisonment, heavy fines, branding with a hot iron, the pillory, and even death. In Mississippi Slaves are punished capitally for thirty different crimes, all of which in the case of whites are visited only with fine and imprisonment; eight of them, if committed by whites, are not punishable at all. All the Slave States allow the life of a fugitive Slave to be taken, if his escape cannot otherwise be prevented. A Slave, refusing to submit to the lash, may be legally shot. If a Slave be killed by cruel whipping, the master is liable to a fine, or to imprisonment for six months; but as Slave testi mony is not received in evidence, the commission of the offence cannot be proved against masters, if none but negroes were present at the time. However injured a Slave may be by per sonal violence, he cannot prosecute his master, or any one else, for damages.
