Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the M. E. Church in the South-West, From 1844 to 1864: Comprising the Martyrdom of Bewley and Others; Persecutions of the M. E. Church, and Its Reorganization, Etc As preliminary to this volume, we deem it proper to present the views on slavery as they were originally entertained by our leading statesmen, next by the Churches outside of Methodism, and then by the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South. 1. We first present the views of our leading American statesmen on this subject: "It is the most earnest wish of America to see an entire stop forever put to the wicked, cruel, and unnatural trade in slaves." (Meeting at Fairfax, Va., July 18, 1776, presided over by Washington.) The Declaration of Independence was proclaimed July 4, 1776. Jefferson´s original draft of this contains the following: "The King of Great Britain has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating them and carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation hither." In 1776 we have the following in the Declaration of Independence: "All men are created free." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
