Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Letter From a Gentleman of Baltimore, to His Friend in the State of New York, on the Subject of Slavery To question the beneficence and wisdom of His arrangements would be foolish and irreverent, and I, certainly, have no disposition to reason with those who would do so. That the Institution of Slavery, then, is one of the primitive domestic relations, ordained and established by the Creator, for wise purposes, and as one of the best means of promoting the happiness of the human family, I have no doubt: nor do I doubt that, by it, the human family are the better compacted and interwoven, the system of mutual relation and dependency the better established, and the great chain of subordination, so essential to the Divine, as well as to human Governments, the better sustained. The prophetic denunciation of Noah of one of the three branches of his family is the first notice of slavery upon record; and it occurred, literally, at the very dawn of time. Noah spoke under the dictation of Heaven; - his words were the words of Omnipotence, and, by them, slavery was ordained in the world. So important an act of God was not casual; it was the result of premeditation and design; it allotted to a distinct portion of the human family a position in the world of extreme subordination and dependency. This was an early and primitive arrangement of the Almighty; an Institution set up in the household of Noah, to be perpetuated, through all time, upon one of the branches of his family. The words of Noah are: "Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be to his brethren. And he said blessed be the Lord God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and shall dwell in the tents of Shem, and Canaan shall be his servant." Gen. 9th: 25th.
