Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Movement Ladies and Gentlemen: Had I consulted my own health, or the advice of my physician, I should have been elsewhere, and otherwise employed this evening. I am not well, and have not been so for several weeks. I have usually come to this platform to lecture on slavery - that darkest and hugest of all wrongs - the vilest (in the language of John Wesley) that ever saw the sun. But it has pleased the Rochester Ladies' Anti-Slavery Society to have presented here, during the winter, almost every phase of that terrible wrong; and I have, therefore, selected my topic in view of that tact. It will, probably, amount to the same thins; in the end. Some one has, happily, said, that it matters very little which path the traveller may take; he has but to go forward to go round the world. In like manner it may be said, that it matters little which path of inquiry a man may pursue, or which great moral or spiritual fact he may investigate; he has but to honestly persevere to find himself, at last, at the portals of the whole universe of truth, and speedily walking amidst its golden glories. The subject of my lecture this evening is, the nature, character, and history of the anti-slavery movement.

Download or read book The Anti Slavery Movement in Kentucky Prior to 1850 written by Asa Earl Martin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anti-Slavery Movement in Kentucky, Prior to 1850: A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy While much has been written concerning the anti - slavery movement in the United States, the work of historians has been chiefly directed toward the radical movement associated with the name of William Lloyd Garrison. This has often been done at the expense of and sometimes to the total neglect of those who favored gradual emancipation. This inequality of treatment has been accredited to the fact that the Garrisonian abolitionists were exceedingly active and vigorous in their propaganda and not to any preponderance of numbers or larger historical sig nificance. The gradual emancipationists, unlike the followers of Garrison who were restricted to the free states, were found in all parts of the Union. They embraced great numbers of the leaders in politics, business, and education; and while far more numerous in the free than in the slave states they nevertheless included a large and respectable element in Maryland, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Missouri. It was to be expected that the gradual emancipationists in these border states would act with conservatism. They were themselves sometimes slave holders and in any event they saw the difficulties and dangers of any sort of emancipation. Their number was, however, too considerable and their activities too noteworthy to warrant the neglect which they have received at the hands of the historians of the anti-slavery movement. In this volume I have attempted to relate the history of the anti-slavery movement in Kentucky to the year 1850 with special emphasis upon the work of the gradual emancipationists. I intend later to prepare a second volume which will carry the study to 1870; and I hope that the appearance of this work will encourage the promotion of similar studies in the other border states.

The time to write an impartial history of that movement Will not come until long after all those Who took part in it are in their graves; but as one of the actors I have sought to make a contribution of some value to the materials for such a history, and to meet a want of the present time. That I have not been Wholly unsuccessful in the execution of this purpose the unsolicited and spontaneous testimony of eminent persons on both sides of the Atlantic en courages me to believe.

The home was a very simple one. It was a mere hen-house which Isaac's father had been allowed to bring away from the old homestead when he married. He had set it down near a great oak in the midst of five or six hundred acres of wild woodland, which he was to clear and farm. He and his wife had been neighbours and playmates from childhood, and this was the very spot which they had long ago fixed upon for their future dwelling.

Download or read book The Underground Railroad from Slavery to Freedom Classic Reprint written by Wilbur H. Siebert and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Underground Railroad From Slavery to Freedom The book is practically divided into four parts: the Rail road itself (chapters ii, v); the railroad hands (chapters iii, iv, vi); the freight (chapters vii, viii); and political relations and effects (chapters ix, x, xi). Perhaps one of the most interesting contributions to our knowledge of the subject is the account of the beginnings of the system of secret and systematic aid to fugitives. Lite evidence goes to show that there was organization in Pennsylvania before 1800 and in Ohio soon after 1815. The book thus becomes a much-needed guide to information about the obscure anti-slavery movement which preceded William Lloyd Gar rison, and to some degree prepared the way for him; and it will prove a source for the historian of the influence of the West in national development. As yet we know too little of the anti-slavery movement which so profoundly stirred the W'estern states, including Kentucky and Missouri, and which came closely into contact With the actual conditions of slavery. As Professor Siebert points out, most of the early abolitionists in the West were former slaveholders or sons of slaveholders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Political Abolition It is that of a Northern man, born and educated in a free State, always opposed to slavery, still opposed to it, judging it to be wrong, and desiring to see it abolished, as well in this country, as in all others. This he assumes to be the general feeling of the people in the free States, as he has rarely found an instance to the contrary. We, therefore, of the free States, (we speak for the great body of the people, ) do not yield to the Abolitionists a whit in our opposition to slavery; we differ from them only as to the mode of getting rid of the evil. We claim to be the true friends of the slave, while we believe them to be pursuing a course hos tile to his best interests, and unfavorable to his emancipation.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Recollections of Our Antislavery Conflict I am happy to announce that in due time a somewhat elaborate history of the rise and fall of the slave power in America may be expected from the Hon. Henry Wil son. He is competent to the undertaking. He is cau tions and candid as well as brave and explicit. He was an Abolitionist before he became a politician. H e has never ignored the rights of humanity, for the sake of par tisan success or personal aggrandizement. Mr. Wilson, I believe, did as much as any one of our prominent statesmen to procure the abolition of slavery in the District of Columbia, and to effect its subversion through out the country.

Download or read book The Neglected Period of Anti Slavery in America 1808 1831 Classic Reprint written by Alice Dana Adams and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Neglected Period of Anti-Slavery in America (1808-1831) This monograph is the result of research work done under the direction of Professor Albert Bushnell Hart, ph.d., of Harvard University, during 1898 - 1899, and in the intervals of other work, in 1902 - 1904. The work was undertaken with the simple purpose of gaining inspiration, and help in methods, from association with one so justly famed in historical circles, with no idea of any further result. A study of the period, 1808 - 1831, however, showed such a wealth of material, and reversed so many of the ideas prevalent among historians, that the results have been put into permanent form with the hope that the work may prove of some material aid to other students and writers of history. The period 1808 has most commonly, perhaps, received the name of the'period of Stagnation. It is credited with no aggressive anti-slavery work; it is rarely credited with even real anti-slavery sentiment of any sort. The anti-slavery workers are said to have trusted that the abolition of the African slave trade would do all the work necessary for the benefit of the slave, even to his ultimate emancipation, until William Lloyd Garrison with his trumpet - blast waked the sleepers and began the new era, whose history is familiar to all.

Download or read book Anti Slavery and Reform Papers Classic Reprint written by Henry David Thoreau and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-06 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Anti-Slavery and Reform Papers The character and Opinions of Henry David Thoreau have for the most part been a stumbling-block to the judgment of his critics. As the early naturalists were puzzled to account for the peculiar structure of the bat, which did not readily adapt itself to their established system of classification, so the literary critics have been perplexed and baffled by the elusive qualities of this unique personality, who fiits unclassified along the con fines of civilization and wildness. One who was bred to no profession; who never married; who lived alone; who never went to church; who never voted; who re fused to pay a tax to the State; who ate no flesh, who drank no wine, who never knew the use of tobacco and though a naturalist, used neither trap nor gun, -it is evident that such a man must appear unreasonable and contumacious to those who have never seriously ques tioned the shibboleths of social order and respectability.

M. Child, and D. L. Child. The Executive Committee commend this journal to the support of every friend of liberty and truth. While it is a constant and watchful advocate of the rights of the colored man', it furnishes a 'good proportion of miscellaneous literature, intelligence, foreign and domestic, and practical hints for house keepers. In a word, it is intended to be a pleasing and useful family news paper, as well as an earnest anti-slavery advocate. It is the organ of no sect in religion, and of no party in politics; but impartially rebukes all sects and parties, which exert a pro-slavery in uence, while it cheerfully awards praise without preference to those who discharge the obligations of Christianity, in relation to this great curse of our land. It represents that class of abolition-f ists who consider the formation of a distinct political abolition party unwise and injurious; but it makes no war upon those. Who think differently.
