Excerpt from Two Letters on Slavery in the United States I do not propose, however, to defend the African Slave Trade. That is no longer a question. Doubtless great evils arise from it as it has been, and is now conducted. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from A Letter to a Friend in the Slave State We are in the midst of civil war, to North and South alike unexpectedly; for when was civil war deliberated on The North did not believe the South would leave them; the South did not believe the North would fight to retain them the South armed and struck the blow, and now the sword is drawn on both sides, and cannot be sheathed without conquest or a compromise. We have to conquer the South or settle with them; and their unconditional conquest seems the policy of those that rule us. The purpose of this letter is to explain to you some of the views of the persons in this State who regard conciliation as our only available resort, and look upon the extreme course of the Government as ruin.

Excerpt from A Letter to a Friend in a Slave State My dear - Everybody recollects the turn given to the idea that the fence of the law cannot be made perfect, when the Englishman said he never saw an Act of Parliament he could not drive his coach through; now signalized, alas! but a thousand years to soon, in the illustrious instance of the Constitution of the United States. Any one or more of the States which drove into this great work may drive out again by the Southern road, and we are taught by lessons, both Legislative and Executive, that as long as the States which remain to us are united, the Constitution is unwounded, though the Northern chariot and scythes be driven through every clause of it. What the South accomplishes at a blow, we do piecemeal. Eight millions of people hold that, if a State had called a convention and asked of the Federal Government a boon, which was refused, or being refused nothing whatever, had expressed a preference to live alone, they might make their act of constitutional secession, and bow themselves out of the Union. Nor would it be possible to exaggerate the heresies of those that are leading the fortunes of the other eighteen millions, who assail, in his liberty and property, the plainest rights of the citizen; who mean to consolidate the Government, if they can, and whose schemes for the consolidation of large parts of it, are already before Congress. These are the extremes of thought and action that accompany national calamity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Slavery: Letters and Speeches The emulous and aspiring youth of a Free People will always find much of their private, and most of their public welfare, indis solubly connected with the institutions and laws of their country. In these, therefore, their interest is both public and personal it pertains to the citizen as well as to the man. All great moral questions, though touching. Them but lightly at first, will come closer and closer home, as long as they live; growing into greater importance for their posthumous memory than for their living fame, and affecting the fortunes of their posterity even more than their own. Though all Young Men are substantially alike in their desire of well being, yet, in regard. To the guiding principles by which the objects of hope are pursued, in order to obtain happiness, three marked distinctions, or classes, exist among them.

Excerpt from Letters on Slavery My original design, was to lay before the Public a free and impartial sketch of negro slavery as it now exists in the island of Barbadoes; to show how it would be affected by the abolition of the slave-trade; and to prove by arguments, founded on facts, the natural equality of the natives of the immense continent of Africa to the rest of mankind. - I am conscious, I have not wilfully misstated or exaggerated any one circumstance; and I have written with the caution of a man who expects to meet with the most pertinacious contradiction. - To give as agreeable an air, as I could, to a subject in itself dull and disgusting, I have preferred the looser form of letters to the formality of a regular treatise. - The sketch I have given of the state of slavery in Jamaica was no part of my plan, but was drawn after that plan was compleated. This I hope will apologize for some repetitions in the latter part of my book. The name and authority of an author have perhaps greater weight with some readers than his arguments. Such persons regard a proportion as true, not so much because a celebrated man has demonstrated it as because he has affirmed it. Those undoubtedly are bad arguments which require foreign aid; but knowing that, on account of the obscurity of an author, even good arguments do not always operate with their whole intrinsic force, I have had frequent recourse to works of acknowledged merit, quotations from which, I am sensible, form the best part of my book.

Excerpt from A Letter to the People of the United States Touching the Matter of Slavery In all the Union there is no legal asylum for the fugitive Slave no soil emancipates his hurrying feet. The States which allow no Slavery within their limits legally defend the Slave-holder: catch and retain the man fleeing for his manhood and his life.

Excerpt from The Issue, Presented in a Series of Letters on Slavery Rev. Silas McKeen: Dear Brother, - The subject to which you particularly call my attention is no longer a "delicate subject." I am willing to say nothing to you in relation to it, which I would not desire to say to every minister, every man and woman in New England. The time has come when, as you say, "Something, by way of light and persuasion on the subject of Slavery, must be done," - and I may add, not for the South alone. I regret that I cannot answer your very candid letter, before the "Convention on the subject of slavery," which, you say, is to be held in Portland on the 12th inst. That is now impossible. But I will pray the Author of all light to direct you, and I trust the candor expressed in your letter, and which I know pervades your character, will characterize the meeting, and that it may result in great good to the poor slaves, for whose benefit it is called. It appears to me that two inquiries, when you are met, will exhaust the subject. First, What can we do? And then, What ought we to do? It is plain that you ought not to do what you cannot do, - probably not all even that you can do. You cannot interfere with the subject by legislation, at least, so far as the respective states are concerned. That is settled by the Constitution. You can, however, seek an amendment of the Constitution. This is provided for in the instrument itself. And only in that method prescribed for amending the Constitution, can you act on the subject through the government.

Excerpt from Letters on American Slavery: Addressed to Mr. Thomas Rankin, Merchant at Middlebrook, Augusta, Co;, Va They have received several alterations and additions. And some efforts have been made to render the work more complete than it was in its original form but still, it is far from pos sessing that excellence of composition which the importance of its subject requires. There fore, it is desired that its imperfections may be attributed to the weakness of its author, and not to that of the cause it is intended to support.
