There were no scenes of cruelty or oppression in our homestead to awaken my pity, - far otherwise; and while our domestics presented all those features of an enslaved people so repulsive to the free, I learned from the first to re gard them, as the children of all slaveholders do, in the light of a species of cattle, - I do not mean be cause they were bought and sold, and their labour unrewarded, I mean something worse still, - I mean that neither their total dismissal of all the proprie ties and decencies of life, nor their immorality, ever shocked my principles or affected my mind any more than the habits of the beasts of burden working with them and yet the Negroes were always with us and about us, IO also were the domestic animals belonging to the house. I record these facts the more willingly, as it may help to show the nature and extent of the influence which slavery holds over man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free Boy is the story of a 13-year-old slave who escaped from Washington Territory to freedom in Canada on the West's underground railroad.

The story of Charlie's escape in 1860 on a steamer bound for Victoria and the help he received from free blacks reveals how national issues on the eve of the Civil War were also being played out in the West. Written with young adults in mind, the authors provide the historical context to understand the lives of both Mitchell and Tilton and the time in which the events took place. The biography explores issues of race, slavery, treason, and secession in Washington Territory, making it both a valuable resource for teachers and a fascinating story for readers of all ages.

She would not be forced to go out into the cold, the rain - out into the grey of early morning. But then to be rich is not to be a slave. To be rich means that you may own slaves. You can buy flesh. You can buy blood. You can even buy the milk from the breast of the mother who is poor - the milk that belongs to her own offspring. It is a fine thing to be rich. Then your children may grow up to be strong and supple and straight. Air they will have, food they will have, light they will have. They will acquire certain qualities.

The fact of his being the first native Bishop of Africa, the pathetic incidents of his early life, and the gracious success Which has crowned his efforts on the banks of the Niger, have all combined to make an impress upon the memory and heart of Christian people in England which will not grow slighter with the passage of the years. Many whose eyes look upon these pages will remember the striking effect of the black Bishop's first appearance on our platforms, and will recall the more frequent occasions when in the pulpits of our churches he has pleaded the cause of the work to which he has devoted his energies and life.
