Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes on the History of Slavery in Massachusetts We find the earliest records of the history of slavery in Massachusetts at the period of the Pequod War - a few years after the Puritan settlement of the colony. Prior to that time an occasional offender against the laws was punished by being fold into slavery or adjudged to servitude; but the institution first appears clearly and distinctly in the enslaving of Indians captured in war. We may hereafter add a sketch of the theories which were held to justify the bondage of the heathen, but at present limit ourselves to the collection of facts to illustrate our general subject. And at the outset we desire to fay that in this history there is nothing to comfort pro-slavery men anywhere.
