Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Emancipation: Its Course and Progress From 1102 to 1875, With a Cursory Review of President Lincoln´s Proclamation, and the XIII Amendment Of the causes and revolutions which men, from the earliest period of recorded time engaged in, none seems so memorable as the abolition of slavery, no event, save that of the coming - the birth of the Savior - is so rejoiced in as that of the abolition of slavery, by the civilized nations, and rightly so; of the crimes mentioned in the decalogue, human slavery takes rank of them all. History fails to give the date or period of the beginning of slavery: the world consequently is ignorant of when it began; the sacred history records the sale of Joseph. Some writers claim this to be the beginning but whether it was or not it matters but little, since, now it seems confined to the dark continent of Africa. Civilization and freedom evidently marches side and side, victory for one means victory for the other, and the nations barbaric, in turn, have had to deal with it, happily now the nations that have felt the oppressors´ power rejoice in freedom - though perhaps it cost more of blood and treasure than any other cause, man ever engaged in. The price of freedom in our own country expensive as it was in lives and money, is not to be compared, does not approximate, will not add a cipher to its cost to the Eastern nations. Though no knowledge of its beginning, the chroniclers have kept record of its abolition, and thus runs the record of the more important epochs.
