Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of the Representatives of the Religious Society of Friends: Commonly Called Quakers, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, &C., To the Citizen of the United States At a Yearly Meeting of Friends held in Philadelphia, by adjournments from the 17th of the Fourth month, to 21st of the same, inclusive, 1837. The suffering condition of our fellow men, descendants of the African race, who are subjected to the rigours of unconditional slavery, having long engaged the sympathy and commiseration of this meeting, the subject was referred at our last annual assembly, to the serious attention of the Meeting for Sufferings. An address to the citizens of the United States, prepared by that meeting, was now introduced by the reading of their minutes, bringing into view the injustice of slavery, the enormities which it authorises by the traffic in the persons of men, extensively prosecuted within the United States, and the degradation of morals unavoidably attendant on such an unrighteous system, wherever it is tolerated; and inviting our fellow-citizens to a calm and dispassionate examination of this momentous subject, with a sincere desire to act in conformity with the principles of universal righteousness, in according to that people the enjoyment of their natural and religious rights; - as likewise the numerous and complicated injuries inflicted on the aborigines of our country, and the duty incumbent upon us of endeavouring to extend to the feeble remnant of these once numerous tribes, the benefits of civilized life and religious instruction: - which address being read and deliberately considered, was approved; and that meeting was directed to procure the printing of such number as they may judge needful for general distribution.
