An Argument Against the Policy of Re-Opening the African Slave Trade (Classic Reprint) by Robert G. Harper Pdf

Excerpt from An Argument Against the Policy of Re-Opening the African Slave Trade The question of re-opening the African Slave Trade, when first sprung by the Southern Convention, was supposed by most people to be of' that class of unreasonable and ultra notions, which would, everywhere, meet with discountenance from the temperate judgment of the people; and would no ver assume an attitude of sufficient importance to require serious opposition. The agitation of it by those Conventions, however, has resulted in calling attention to the subject; and although no very strong support has been derived to the pol V icy, by the action had upon it, at the late Convention in Montgomery, yet it is evident, that the result has been to invest the question with a degree of importance which no longer admits of its being treated with silence or contempt. The fact that many of our people - particularly of the Southern Rights' School - and who, whether always within the limits of true wisdom or not, are never to be denied the credit of being foremost in their devotion to our cause, are becoming interested in it, and favorably inclined to it, is sufficient to entitle the question to be regarded, as a grave question at least, and one worthy to be considered. I pro pose, therefore, in a temperate Spirit to examine it; and while I appreciate the generous Southern warmth, in which it has originated, and entertain for it that respect which is emi uently due to even the virtuous errors which in these cvil times fall on the side of the suffering South, I shall attempt, V by dispassionate argument, to show that it is a misguided policy, and one which, if e 'ectuated, would prove anything but advantageous to the cause of Slavery.

The troubled years Of the Embargo policy and afterwards the War of 1812 turned men's thoughts in other directions, just at the time when the cotton-gin was quietly making slavery too profitable to be easily disposed of. During the Revolutionary War there was a similar decline Of anti-slavery literature, a similar decadence Of organized efl'ort through an Abolition Society.

The African Slave Trade, Vol. 2 by Thomas Fowell Buxton Pdf

Excerpt from The African Slave Trade, Vol. 2: The Remedy We may assume, and with almost equal confidence, that Africa can never be delivered, till we have called forth the rich productiveness of her soil. She de rives, it must he confessed, some pecuniary advantage from the Slave Trade: happily, however, it is the smallest possible amount of revenue, at the largest possible amount of cost. The strength of our case, and the foundation of our hope, lie in the assurance, - I am tempted rather to call it, the indisputable cer tainty, - that the soil will yield a far more generous return. Grant that the Chieftains sell every year of the inhabitants, and that into their hands 4 per head is honestly paid. (this is not the fact.

The Black Slaves of Prussia by Frank Weston Pdf

Excerpt from The Black Slaves of Prussia: An Open Letter Addressed to General Smuts Dear General Smuts, You will not be surprised, I think, to hear that we who live in German East Africa are becoming anxious about the fate of the colony. The British Government and its Allies have spoken with decision: they have pledged their honour that they will fight till liberty is established throughout the world: until no one weak people is oppressed by a stronger race. And the President of the United States has given the authority of his great country to this solemn pledge. But there are signs that some in England and on the Continent are ready to end the war before this liberty is established. A desire for a quiet life and, I suppose, a lust for money seem to outweigh in some minds the value of liberty: and tempt men to dishonour the sacrifice of blood and sweat that others have offered in its cause. We are, therefore, becoming really anxious both for our Africans' future and for the honour of our country. We are afraid that Africa will be enslaved to Germany. We are afraid lest a small peace party cause our rulers to break their imperial pledge to establish liberty or die. It seems right, therefore, that some one who knows German East Africa should publish the true facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Suppression of the African Slave Trade to the United States of America by William Edward Burghardt Pdf

The various moral, economic and religious arguments against slavery were clear from the outset of the practice in the early 16th century. The ownership of a human life as an economic commodity was decried from religious circles from the earliest days as an immoral affront to basic human dignity. However the practice of gaining lifelong labor in exchange only for a basic degree of care meant slavery persisted for centuries across the New World persisted as a lucrative endeavor. The colonial United States would, from the early 17th century, receive many thousands of slaves from Africa. Many of the slaves transported were sent to work on plantations and farms which steadily spread across the warmer southern states of the nation. Others would do manual work on the docks, for instance moving goods in the fledgling trading colonies. Using voluminous research and reliable sources spanning the centuries, W. E. B. Du Bois crafts a convincing and evocative portrait of a country which was increasingly torn over its relationship with slavery. The abolitionist movement, at first fragmentary and sporadic, grows in step with the prosperity of the U.S. colonies - finally, in the 19th century, slavery is already banned by the major European powers, and is on the cusp of abolition in the United States. Despite the protracted battle of abolitionists and religious figures, slavery would not be banned from the United States until the mid-1860s, coinciding with the conclusion of the American Civil War. Although legally permitted, efforts and campaigns to undermine and discourage slavery were numerous and varied; Du Bois relates details of these, giving the reader a history which is informed, dramatic and intense.

The African Slave Trade by Judah P. Benjamin's Pdf

Excerpt from The African Slave Trade: The Secret Purpose of the Insurgents to Revive It; No Treaty Stipulations Against the Slave Trade to Be Entered Into With the European Powers I say this oligarchy, for it is known that the men who concocted, and who do now control the thing they call the Southern Confederacy, are not as numerous, in point of fact, as the figures on a chess-board. It is eminently a close corporation, and was so intended to be. The men who compose it are, for the most part, the same clique well known for years in this city as claiming exclusive jurisdiction over the Democratic party, and as assuming such absolute authority over the South, that even now a great many people suppose there are no other persons of consequence in that part of the country. The late Mr. Douglas, the great leader of the Northern Democracy, understood them thoroughly, and ceased not until the close of his life to make war upon them. There are those within the reach of my voice, who also knew them, and can testify to their utter perfidy; who have been the victims of their want of principle, and whose self-respect has suffered from their insolent and overbearing demeanor. They, like a certain school of ancient philoso phera, had two sets of principles or doctrines, an exoteric and an cacto ric - one for outsiders, the other for themselves; the one was Demo cratic principles' for the Democratic party, the other was their own and without a name. No Northern man was ever admitted to their confi dence, and no Southern man, unless it became necessary to keep up their numbers; and then not until he was thoroughly known by them, and known to be thoroughly corrupt. Some Northern men and many Southern men were, after a fashion, petted and patronized by them, as a gentleman throws from his table a bone ora choice bit to a favorite dog; and they imagined they were conferring a great favor thereby, which could be requited only by the abject servility of the dog. To hesitate, to doubt, to hold back, to stop, was to call down a storm of wrath that few men had the nerve to encounter, and still fewer the strength to withstand. Not only in the political circles, but in social life, their rule was inexorable, their tyranny absolute. God be thanked for the brave men who had the courage to meet them and bid them defiance, first at Charleston in April, 1860, and then at Baltimore in June! To them is due the credit of declaring war against this intolerable despotism. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
