Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Twenty-Eighth Annual Report of the American Anti-Slavery Society: By the Executive Committee, for the Year Ending May 1, 1861 The lapse of time calls the Executive Committee of the American Anti-Slavery Society to add the record of another year to the annals of American Slavery, and of the enterprise inaugurated to achieve its downfall. The year whose history we are now to give is unsurpassed, if not unequalled, by any of its predecessors, in the greatness of its events, and the importance of their bearing on the Anti-Slavery cause. It has pressed home upon the nation, for prompt and final settlement, the issue which this Society has been so long presenting to its unwilling regard - "Shall Slavery or the Union perish?" What we have for so many years demanded, "No Union with Slaveholders," seems promising, or threatening, according to the state of mind with which the prospect is regarded, to become, ere many months, "a fact accomplished"; either by the triumph of armed rebellion rending the Union asunder irretrievably, at the bidding and in the interest of the Slave Power, or by the crushing of slavery, as the speediest and most effectual, if not the only, method of putting down rebellion, and reestablishing the Union. Whether the nation and the Government will come to understand in time that such is the inevitable alternative, and will have the wisdom, energy and moral courage to accept and use aright the proffered opportunity, and thus to save the country by destroying utterly the cause of its calamity and peril, is a question which still awaits its answer, but we are sure cannot await it long. Events will not stand still for the convenience of belated conservatism or timid indecision; still less will they pause for the adjustment of delusive compromises between principle and policy, between a nation´s awakening conscience and a slippery politician´s schemes of statecraft.
