Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Nineteenth Annual Report, Presented to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society: By Its Board of Managers, January 22, 1851 It has ever been the felicity of the American Abolitionist to discern, at the close of each successive year of his experience, fresh proofs of the wisdom of his philosophy and the sagacity of his method, in the impress they have set upon the character, and the direction they have given to the current, of events. The twelve-month which has just expired is overshadowed with a cloud of these witnesses. The strides of this nation towards its destiny or its doom were never more rapid or more appalling. If there be any element of deliverance, any hope of safety, any way of escape from the fate which analogous crimes have drawn down upon the heads of less guilty because less enlightened nations, of which the memory only survives, it is to be looked for in the bitter but healing antidote which the Abolitionists have mingled, with the poisoned cup of the people´s abominations. If there be any recovery for it from its present perdition, any possibility of its yet making this continent the theatre of the noblest drama ever presented to God or man, of a true Republic whose laws are equal, beneficent, and just, a human translation of the Divine Government of the Universe, it is only to be achieved by pressing forward in the footsteps by which the Anti-Slavery Movement would lead it on to safety, happiness, and glory. These truths the facts of the past year´s history have impressed more deeply than ever upon our minds. When we addressed you last, the dangers which had been evoked out of the smoke and blood of the Mexican War, like demons rising from the hideous ebullition of a wizard´s cauldron, had not yet taken definite shape and tangible substance.
