Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Practicability of the Abolition of Slavery: A Lecture, Delivered at the Lyceum in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, February, 1831 The question which I have been requested to consider, is, perhaps, the most momentous that concerns the human race. My condition entitles me to assign defect of sight as an apology for the imperfection, and especially the ill arrangement of the argument which I shall present. Is it possible to abolish African Slavery in this country; or, in other words, is the perpetual subjugation of the African race the necessary result of the condition of human nature? The question should be considered calmly and philosophically. We should not be misled by our passions or our sympathies. In attempting to obtain justice for some, we should not do injustice to others. We in the North are reproached for our interference with this subject, even by remonstrance or advice. We are told, with more apparent than real justice, that freemen, who know not the state of slavery by personal residence, or long observation, are unable to estimate its true condition, or the capacity of slaves for emancipation.
