Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The White Side of a Black Subject, Enlarged and Brought Down to Date: A Vindication of the Afro-American Race, From the Landing of Slaves at St. Augustine, Florida, in 1565, to the Present Time "Oh, that ... mine adversary had written a book." Job XXXI. 35. If good old Job had adversaries, we can hardly hope to escape, especially after discussing a subject fully and fearlessly about which good men honestly differed for nearly two and one half centuries. We believe, however, that our position is in accord with the teaching of God´s word and the verdict of humanity and modern civilization. President Cleveland´s motto during his first presidential campaign was, "Tell the truth." We have tried to make that our watchword, as a historian should; and have hewn to the line regardless where the chips fell. We wish to say in this connection, that much of this work is in the nature of a compilation, as is the case with all works of a historical character. We have tried to give credit to each author quoted; however, we are under special obligations to Dr. Geo. W. Williams, the leading colored historian who rendered aid in our chapters on "Slavery Before the Revolution," and "The Colored Troops Fought Nobly." We received help from the works of Wm. Wells Brown, a colored author, on the chapter, "He Fought to Free his Master." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
