Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Made at an Adjourned Meeting of the Friends of the American Colonization Society: In Worcester County, Held in Worcester, Dec; 8, 1830, by a Committee Appointed for That Purpose, With the Proceedings of the Meeting, &C It is now only fourteen years since a small number of gentlemen met together, in the city of Washington, and formed themselves into a Society, under the denomination of "The American Society for colonizing in Africa the free people of color of these United States." Among its first founders, whose memories alone remain to testify their worth, may be named the late Judge Washington, Gen. Hooper, and Mr. Fitzhugh, of Virginia, Rev. Mr. Findley of New Jersey, and Mr. Caldwell of the District of Columbia. Among those who still live to foster the Institution and advocate its claims, might be named, some of the most distinguished men of our country. The plan of colonizing the free people of color, in some place beyond the United States, was first conceived at the south. It originated in the Legislature of Virginia, more than twenty years ago. Several resolutions were passed by that body, favorable to the project; but an attempt to procure, through the agency of our General Government, territory of the Portuguese in South America, and all attempts of a like kind, proved abortive.
