Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eulogy on Wendell Phillips Yet, in the beginning of his public life, Mr. Phillips knew little or nothing of slavery from personal observation. He had never been shocked by a sight of the brutalities of plantation life. His knowledge of the negro and negro character was confined almost entirely to what he had seen and known of the less than one thousand colored people then living in Boston, and what he could occasionally gather from an escaped slave. But he did know the system of slavery, with its attendant evils, well. He knew the demoralizing effects of slavery and its degrading influence. He knew that slavery was wrong, and he abhorred it. The enemies of freedom derisively called the abolitionists negro-lovers. Mr. Phillips did not love the negro as a negro. He loved justice, he hated injustice. He saw that the negro was deprived of his liberty, and was outraged; he saw that society and government were combined against the negro, and he renounced society, rebelled against government, and took his stand against both to defend the negro. At this time Mr. Phillips was well acquainted with the leading intelligent colored men then in Boston, John T. Hilton, Rev. Thomas Paul, Charles Lenox Remond, and William C. Nell, the historian, who were all co-workers in the abolition society, which held its meetings in Belknap-street Church (now Joy street). In this little church Mr. Phillips delivered some of those inspired speeches which, unfortunately, have never been printed, but are so often referred to latterly.
