Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Extinction of the American Colonization Society: The First Step to the Abolition of American Slavery Whilst the abolition of colonial slavery occupied the attention of the British public, they would naturally turn their minds to its ultimate extinction in the United States of America, - a country connected with us by language and common origin. The final extinction of slavery, and the civilization of Africa, have been represented by the agent of the American Colonization Society as the great objects of that institution, which has induced many friends of the abolition cause to give it their support. But a more accurate investigation of its origin, its own declarations, and the effects produced, have convinced many who were once its friends, that its objects have been directly contrary to the professions of its agent - that it was not formed with any view to the civilization of Africa; its single object from first to last having been declared to be "the colonizing of the free people of colour with their consent, in Africa, Or Such Other Place as Congress may deem most expedient" - that instead of having done any thing to soften or ameliorate the barbarous laws of the slave states, made against their instruction and improvement, this Society has powerfully supported that unchristian prejudice against the coloured people, in which these laws had their foundation - that instead of having any tendency to abolish slavery, its evident tendency and its effects have been to perpetuate that abomination; and, therefore, that its extinction, and not its support, is the first step to the abolition of American slavery. The intentions of its founders, and the effects produced on public feeling by its operations, have already been successfully exposed in many publications in this country (a list of which is given in our second page), which establish all that has been said against it.
