Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Slaves: A Poem; Written by Appointment of the Faculty of the Western Reserve College, for the Commencement, in 1831 The following poem was written by appointment of the Faculty of the Western Reserve College, for Commencement in 1831 - At a period when the subject of immediate emancipation was not discussed in the west. It contains the views we have always had of the sinfulness of Slavery, and of the moral obligation resting upon slave-holders to let the oppressed go free. It urges the duty of those who claim to be the friends of humanity, or the friends of the Savior to aid, as well in relieving the slaveholder from the heart-petrifying influences of Slavery, as in relieving his victim from the thraldom of his task master. We publish the poem at this time to convince some of our friends, who seem to think otherwise, that we look upon the whole system of Slavery now, just as we have always viewed it, with feelings of abhorrence. But while we say that our feelings in relation to slavery itself hare remained the same - we freely admit, that our views in regard to the best means of destroying the pernicious system have changed. This we believe to be the case to some extent with every man who has thought on this subject with the least degree of attention, during the last three years. We once hoped that Colonization in Africa would remedy the evil, and with that hope we urged forward so far as our limited means and time would permit, the Colonization scheme. We now believe, what is conceded by all parties, that as a means of destroying slavery. Colonization is altogether an inefficient and inadequate remedy. To Colonization for Christian purposes,and from Christian motives, we are not opposed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
