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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Colored American From Slavery to Honorable Citizenship We are not ignorant of the fact that the eye of the critic will discern imperfections, but after much and labored research we have followed the plan that, in our judgment, would make the volume an incentive to greater progress in the future. In the chapter on Noted Men and Women we may be charged with gross omissions, but the modesty of many men and women worthy of mention has pre vented a record of noble lives. In other cases the manuscript did not reach us in time. We have quoted largely from different authors, and wherever possible have given credit, but in some cases even this was not possible, as the author was not always known. We are especially indebted to Dr. Hubbard, of Meharry Medical College, and Prof. Spence, of Fisk University, for valuable information.

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 nation. 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 unfrequently, 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. The next year, he was requested to preach on the 4th of July. The sermon was, by request, printed. The following extract will show the writer's views respecting American slavery. "Our conduct in relation to the Africans has been most inconsistent, absurd, and criminal. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Extinction of the American Colonization Society: The First Step to the Abolition of American Slavery With the doctrines, principles, and designs of the American Colonization Society, the new-england anti-slavery Society holds no fellowship-viewing them as utterly subversive of sound morality and the law of brotherly love, and calculated to inflame and strengthen those prejudices which have so long operated against the free coloured population of the United States. Submitting the motives of those who support the scheme of African Colonization to the inspection of Him who alone searcheth the heart and trieth the reins, and cheer fully exonerating the people of the free States, generally, from any design to persecute or enslave the people of colour in this land, the Managers proceed to state, as comprehensively as possible, some of the reasons which lead abolitionists to op pose the American Colonization Society.

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 Picture of Slavery in the United States of America Where is the charter found to sanctify Despotic, base, unqualified control, O'er strength and will, by man enthroned o'er man? In Revelation's code you find it not, Nor in Creation's multifarious laws. The will of Heaven, when unrevealed by Christ, Or by the sacred organs of his word, Is sought and found in the primeval light, Which Nature sheds through her expanded spheres. But when with Gospel-day this light combines, The fool who doubts, who asks for clearer proof Must hood-wink'd be indeed, and darkness love. That such resistless evidence obtains, To evince Demoniac Slavery's turpitude, With all the powers of brightest Truth appears, To the impartial mind that views each source, Whence the full streams of testimony flow. Each text of Sacred Writ enjoining love, Affection, justice, mercy, meekness, peace, And piety, establishes this truth, That Slavery contravenes the law of God!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Caste and Slavery in the American Church In the Capitol of our country free coloured men are liable to arrest, on suspicion of being fugitive slaves. If unable to prove their freedom, they are sold as Slaves: and if, after being incarcerated for weeks within the damp and gloomy walls of a prison, they succeed in obtaining the evidence of their freedom, they are still liable to be sold as slaves for life, if they are too poor to pay the jail-fees. In Ala bama a more summary law has been enacted, by which any free man of colour coming into the State after its pas sage may be seized, and held as a slave for life, by the first white man who catches him - and in Florida, a law obtains, which puts to the blush the tale of Shylock and his single pound of flesh. Free coloured debtors may be sold as slaves to satisfy the claim of any white creditor. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from America's Misfortune: Or a Practical View of Slavery Slavery is the most serious subject that has ever disturbed the peace of our country. The South has been wedded to the institution for centuries; and they who attack it should be actuated by love and guided by prudence. When the husband sees the wife of his bosom stricken with a dangerous disease, lie suffers no harsh measures to be taken, but everything is done with the greatest caution. The union of the North and the South is most intimate, and most essential to their mutual welfare. Their soldiers fought side by side in the struggle which gave us our national being; their statesmen have often strengthened each other's hands in our national councils; the names of Adams, Jefferson, Clay, Calhoun, and Webster, will go down to posterity on one national tablet.
