Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial and Remonstrance of the Committees Appointed by the Yearly Meetings of Friends of Genesee, New-York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore to the President of the United States: In Relation to the Indians in the State of New-York The undersigned, On behalf of the several Committees on Indian Concerns, appointed by the four Yearly Meetings of Friends of Genesee, New-York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore, Respectfully represent - That the religious Society of Friends, since the first settlement of Pennsylvania has ever maintained with the aborigines of our country the most cordial and friendly relations. The numerous acts of kindness, the protection and support, received by our emigrating ancestors, from that people, have left on the minds of their successors the most lasting impressions of gratitude. The friendship cemented by the justice and magnanimity of William Penn, on the one side, and by the benevolent conduct of the natives, on the other, has been as lasting as it was honorable to both. The original treaty between them was never violated on either side. When the administration of the colonial government had passed out of the hands of the proprietaries, Friends did not forget the obligations of gratitude and justice. On all proper occasions they appeared in behalf of the Indians, as their friends and counsellors. They sent agents among them to instruct them in the arts of civilized life, and, at great expense of time and money, labored for their civilization and improvement. The Senecas, Tuscaroras, Cayugas, Onondagas, and Oneidas, from their proximity to the settlements of our people, became the peculiar objects of our care.
