Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Or a Tragical Poem, on the Oppression of the Human Species; And Infringement on the Rights of Man, Vol. 1 of 5: In Five Books; With Notes Explanatory and Miscellaneous It is intended as a contrast between practical slavery and professional liberty, and suggests to the citizens of the American States the following important distich: "Sons of Columbia, bear this truth in time, He who allows oppression shares the crime." The temple of Liberty, with the motto of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which would as well become her sister states, is displayed: the Goddess, in a melancholy attitude, is seated under the Pillar of our Independence, bearing in her hand the Sword of Justice surmounted by the Cap of Liberty, while one foot rests on the Cornu copiæ, and the Ensign of America appear at her side, She is looking majestically sad on the African Slaves landed on the shores of America, who are brought into view, in order to demonstrate the hypocrisy and viliainy of professing to be votaries of liberty, while, at the same time, we encourage, or countenance, the most ignoble slavery.
