Book excerpt: Excerpt from Statements Respecting the American Abolitionists: By Their Opponents and Their Friends; Indicating the Present Struggle Between Slavery and Freedom in the United States of America These counter-statements to portions of articles published in the British Banner of Jan. 28, Feb. 11, and March 24, 1852, have been collected to illustrate the vague and inconclusive nature of the accusations usually brought against American abolitionists, and the systematic misrepresentations to which their proceedings are subjected. Also to exhibit the disingenuousness of using detached passages from reports of speeches made by individuals on various occasions, as exponents of the principles of a society whose action is limited to a specific object. The chief design of this pamphlet, however, is to neutralize the injustice done to the anti-slavery cause, by those who allege the "infidelity" of abolitionists, in order to screen the reluctance evinced by ministers of the Gospel "to proclaim the opening of the prison to them that are bound." The following pages show that these charges are usually untrue; and that, even if they were true, they in no degree clear the character or justify the position of the pro-slavery Churches and Clergy of the United States. The abolitionists maintain that slavery is inevitably a compound of wickedness, cruelty, and injustice; that it is the "sum of all villanies;" that wherever such a system prevails, and is fostered by Church and State, morals, religion, justice, and liberty are in fearful danger; and that the truest friends of these blessings are not the Churches and Clergy who countenance or advocate the slave system, but the faithful few, who in the teeth of calumny, hatred, and hostility, have devoted their lives, fortunes, talents, and reputations to its overthrow. In the United States of North America, property in human beings constitutes the greatest commercial "interest." The number of slaveholders is about 150,000. The value of slave property was estimated some years ago, by the Hon Henry Clay, an eminent American slaveholder, orator, statesman, and presidential candidate, at 1,200 millions of dollars, or 240,000,000 sterling. The institution of slavery is termed "their peculiar institution" by the Slave States, and as such is watched and guarded with the most jealous care. General George Mac Duffie, of South Carolina, declared that slavery is "the corner-stone of our Republican edifice," and that, if on his death-bed, he would bequeath its defence and preservation as a legacy to his children. The intercourse of the Free with the Slave States is so intimate, that their interests appear to be almost inextricably mingled. They are united in the closest manner by domestic, social, political, and religious ties. Northern ministers, merchants, teachers, physicians, and lawyers settle in the Slave States. The daughters of northern men marry slaveholders, and become the owners of slaves. The Constitution of the United States, the charter by which the Union is maintained, contains many provisions for preserving their human property to the slaveholders, and pledging the Northern States to use their physical power for this purpose. The late Fugitive Slave Law was merely an Act to amend and confirm Acts already in existence, for the restoration of fugitives to bondage. In the United States, the preservation of the Union is considered essential to the national existence and prosperity; and attacks upon slavery are resented, not from an abstract love of the system, but because they alarm the Southern States and thus endanger the Union.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Problem of Democracy in the Age of Slavery, W. Caleb McDaniel sets forth a new interpretation of the Garrisonian abolitionists, stressing their deep ties to reformers and liberal thinkers in Great Britain and Europe. The group of American reformers known as "Garrisonians" included, at various times, some of the most significant and familiar figures in the history of the antebellum struggle over slavery: Wendell Phillips, Frederick Douglass, and William Lloyd Garrison himself. Between 1830 and 1870, American abolitionists led by Garrison developed extensive networks of friendship, correspondence, and intellectual exchange with a wide range of European reformers -- Chartists, free trade advocates, Irish nationalists, and European revolutionaries. Garrison signaled the importance of these ties to his movement with the well-known cosmopolitan motto he printed on every issue of his famous newspaper, The Liberator: "Our Country is the World -- Our Countrymen are All Mankind." That motto serves as an impetus for McDaniel's study, which shows that Garrison and his movement must be placed squarely within the context of transatlantic mid-nineteenth-century reform. Through exposure to contemporary European thinkers -- such as Alexis de Tocqueville, Giuseppe Mazzini, and John Stuart Mill -- Garrisonian abolitionists came to understand their own movement not only as an effort to mold public opinion about slavery but also as a measure to defend democracy in an Atlantic World still dominated by aristocracy and monarchy. While convinced that democracy offered the best form of government, Garrisonians recognized that the persistence of slavery in the United States revealed problems with the political system. They identified the participation of minority agitators as part of the process in a healthy democratic society. Ultimately, Garrisonians' transatlantic activities reveal their deep patriotism, their interest in using public opinion to affect American politics, and their similarities to other antislavery groups. By following Garrisonian abolitionists across the Atlantic Ocean and exhaustively documenting their international networks, McDaniel challenges many of the timeworn stereotypes that still cling to their movement. He argues for a new image of Garrison's band as politically savvy, intellectually sophisticated liberal reformers, who were well informed about transatlantic debates regarding the problem of democracy.
