Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty-First Annual Report: Presented to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society by Its Board of Managers, January 26, 1853, With an Appendix Another year full of warning and of instruction has passed away into the domain of History. A very slight glance at the events which swept along in its train is all that we can afford them. So completely has the progress of the Anti-Slavery Movement incorporated its own History with that of this country, that the Annals of the one have become almost identical with those of the other. In every public Act, in every line of policy, in every election to office, in whatever furnishes materials or illustration of History, Slavery is to be discerned openly or secretly originating, guiding, controlling, commanding. Of this necessary predominance, inevitable as long as Slavery and the present Constitution of our National Government endure, the past year affords as convincing, if not as terrible, examples as any that went before it. The recapitulation of its occurrences, having a special relation to Slavery, which you require your Board of Managers to give you in addition to that of their performance of the specific work you have appointed them to do, must of necessity still be brief and imperfect. But we proceed, confident of your indulgent consideration of defects inseparable from the task required, and the limits within which it must needs be confined. Congress. The opening session of the Thirty-Second Congress could not be expected to vie with the robust villany of its infamous predecessor. Another such a brood of monsters as the Compromises could hardly be hoped for so soon again. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
