Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William Lloyd Garrison 1805-1879, Vol. 4: The Story of His Life "To me," wrote George Thompson to Mr. Garrison, on hearing of Lincoln´s election, "it seems that the triumph just achieved has placed the cause in a new, a critical, and a trying position; demanding (if it be possible) additional vigilance, inflexible steadfastness to fundamental moral principles, and unrelaxed energy in the employment of anti-slavery means. You have now to grapple with the new doctrine of Republican conservatism, and will be called to contend with those in power who, having gained their object by the assistance derived from the abolition ranks, will use their power to repress, if not to punish, the spread of the true gospel of freedom. You have now to make genuine converts of those who have as yet only been baptized into the faith of non-extension, and whose zeal in that direction is mere white-man-ism. Forgetting the things that are behind, you have to reach forth to the things that are before, pressing towards the object you had in view when starting - the utter extermination of slavery wheresoever it may exist." The fears of this sagacious observer were quickly justified. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
