Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Colonization of the Free Colored Population of Maryland, and of Such Slaves as May Hereafter Become Free: Statement of Facts, for the Use of Those Who Have Not Yet Reflected on This Important Subject Reasons for removing and colonizing the Free People of Colour, It is unnecessary to explain to the citizens of Maryland the evils of a colored population: they see and feel them daily. The most palpable, however, are the following. First. The employment of slaves tends to make labour disreputable, and thus to produce indolence, and consequently poverty and vice, among the free; and as all slaves are colored, the employment of colored labourers, even where free, creates or sustains the same prejudice against honest industry. The difference, therefore, between the value of land and improvements, and the wealth and comfort of the people, in those places where all the inhabitants are white, and those where they are not, is too striking to be denied. Secondly. Colored labourers exclude an equal number of whites, who would gladly be industrious and sober, if they could find employment; and thus, for a multitude of freemen, who, while they contributed to the wealth and beauty of the land, would also be ready to defend it in case of need, is substituted a class, who can feel but little interest to exert themselves for the permanent improvement of the country, and who are rather to be distrusted, perhaps, than relied upon for protection. Thirdly. The existence of a colored population among us is inconsistent, to a great degree, with our republican professions.
