Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Proceedings in Relation to the Presentation of the Address of the Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends: On the Slave-Trade and Slavery, to Sovereigns and Those in Authority in the Nations of Europe, and in Other Parts of the World, Where the Christian Religion Is Professed This Meeting, whilst afresh deeply feeling the cruelty and atrocious character of the African Slave-trade, as well as the abominations of the system of Slavery, thinks it right to commend the whole subject to the very serious attention of the Meeting for Sufferings, to act therein as in its judgment may seem best. The last Yearly Meeting referred, by minute, to the very serious attention of this Meeting, the continued horrors and cruelties of the Slave-trade and the iniquitous system of Slavery, with a view to its acting therein as might be thought best, according to the circumstances of the case. This important subject has from cue time to another obtained the very close consideration of this Meeting. We feel that the long-continued existence of these crimes should not in any wise weaken our sense of their enormity, but, on the contrary, that the additional evidence of their true character ought to bring us increasingly to see their sinfulness. It is a very distressing reflection at this day, that since the commencement of the active exertions of the members of our Society and of the inhabitants of this island, millions of innocent, unoffending human beings, children of the same merciful Parent with ourselves, have been subjected to the complicated inhumanity and injustice of the Slave-trade and Slavery. And we feel that the termination of British colonial bondage should not, by any of us, be considered as the period when our sympathies for the. sufferings of the oppressed, or our sense of the injustice of the oppressor,, and pity for him in his unrighteous doings, should cease.
