Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal to the People of the Northern and Eastern States: On the Subject of Negro Slavery in South Carolina The open denunciations from abroad, and the foul insinuations at home, on the subject of negro slavery in South Carolina, persuade us that this appeal will find sufficient apology for its present appearance. Every one must perceive, that the efforts which the Abolitionists are making, have for their ultimate object, the total destruction of our slave institutions. They have already carried their purpose so far, as to create a degree of disaffection between the people of the North and South, which has caused many to tremble for the permanence of the Union. Such has been their improvident conduct, that, even in their own states, they have raised up an excitement against themselves, which has but recently required military interference for their protection. From their flagitious efforts, commenced in the press and carried to the pulpit, the grossest slanders have been circulated against the southern slaveholder. It sometimes happens, from a want of proper information easily got at, that these errors, from frequent repetition, are at length considered sober truths; and the people, upon whom their denunciations are so freely bestowed, necessarily become the objects of bitter and undeserved reproach. Under such a state of things, there should be no suppression of the truth; and he who does so, when in his power to unfold it, violates the fulfilment of his positive duties to society not less than to his own conscience. Unwilling, therefore, that any such neglect should be chargeable to us, however humble the ability with which we come to the task, we beg leave to propose to our fellow citizens of the non-slaveholding states, the consideration of a few leading propositions, which we hold absolutely essential to a fair consideration of the subject. I. That, a system of slavery has existed in every age of the world was established in the Old, and sanctioned in the New Testament. II. That, the system was forced upon South Carolina by the trade of Great Britain and of the Northern and Eastern States.
