Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Scriptural Examination of the Institution of Slavery in the United States: With Its Objects and Purposes We have not undertaken to write the general history of slavery, nor the history of slavery in the United States ; the extent of our undertaking is, to show the purposes for which African slavery was instituted, in so far as the United States stand connected with it. There are two propositions of essential importance, and which never must be lost sight of, in the investigation of this subject, to wit : 1. African slavery is a punishment, inflicted upon the enslaved, for their wickedness. - The proper understanding of this proposition requires that we should keep steadily before the mind the fact, that nations, communities, peoples, may and do sin against God, as well as individuals; and nations, communities, peoples, are punishable and punished, as well as individuals. The only difference is this : individuals may escape punishment ; they often do, in this world: their punishment may be postponed to the day of judgment ; but nations, communities, peoples, must be punished in this world, for they cannot, as such, be brought into the judgment of the great day. 2. Slavery, as it exists in the United States, is the Providentially-arranged means whereby Africa is to be lifted from her deep degradation, to a state of civil and religious liberty.
