Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reports, Speeches, and Fragmentary Reflections on the Colored Population of Maryland, and Slavery, 1857 Of the Select Committee appointed by the House of Delegates, at its last session, to whom was referred the subject of the removal of the free colored population from Charles County. The committee to whom was referred the subject of the removal of the free colored population from Charles county, beg leave to report, that they have examined into the subject as accurately as possible; they have procured information from every accessible source, to show the necessity of their removal; they are of the firm conviction that the moral, political, and fiscal interests of the State are materially affected by their condition among us; and, although the immediate object of consideration is their removal from Charles county, yet the subject is of such interest as to induce the committee to extend the examination of the subject to the entire State. Whatever may be found to be their condition in the State, will be found to be their condition in each of the counties. It is doubtless the desire of all persons in the State that they should be removed; and the committee are clearly of opinion that their condition could not be rendered worse, no matter to what region of country they may be removed, or by what process that removal might be effected. There exists, however, a difference of opinion as to the mode by which they shall be removed; and whether we should incur any additional expense in effecting that object, and to what place they are to be carried, are questions yet to be decided. There are many, perhaps who doubt the power of the Legislature to compel them to remove, and there are others who entertain scruples on the ground of humanity. The object of the committee will be, as far as practicable, to reconcile conflicting opinions, and to devise a mode of removal by which all doubts and differences of opinion may be reconciled or removed. It is our decided opinion, for various reasons, that they should be removed, not only from Charles county, but from the State. The committee think, in truth, that, for social and intellectual improvement, they ought to be transported from America, beyond the Atlantic Ocean; and that Liberia or Maryland, in Africa, is the proper place in which they should be settled.
