Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Influence of the War on Our National Prosperity: A Lecture Delivered in Baltimore, MD March 13th, 1865 In accepting the invitation to address yon this evening I esteem it a privilege to appear before so large and respectable an audience in they City of Baltimore and to be permitted to congratulate yon that Maryland is now by her own act forever free from the curse of slavery. Before entering upon the subject that has been announced as the theme for the evening, 1 shall make a few preliminary remarks, which I think the circumstances and the place demand. I wish to say distinctly, that, until the commencement of this war, I never was known as an abolitionist. I was not indifferent to the great curse of human bondage and slavery; but I had early identified myself with the colonization movement of the country, and I felt it to be the duty of the North most sacredly to maintain the constitutional rights guaranteed to the South, that the peace and happiness and prosperity of the country depended upon the sacred performance, on the part of the North, of all the obligations contained in the Constitution, and which had conferred upon the South certain constitutional rights.
