Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Colored People of South Carolina: With an Account of the Origin and Progress of the Colored Race and Human Slavery
Up to this time, I have taken no active part in pub lic affairs. I stood as a careful observer upon the political river. And now, in my 23d year, having passed a life of hardship and toil, I feel myself called upon, as by the impulse of fate, to defend the rights of the unfortunate race, to which I belong. In my feeble effort to perform this sacred duty, I hope that I will receive the aid of all my fellow-men, who know (as all ought to) that we are one in blood and one in color. And if they fail to regard my works, I know that I will have, as I have always had, the Sanction of the Most Most Holy, the Supreme Ruler of Heaven, (1 hell. With this reliance I now begin my story which I hope will be alive and of use when my body be sleeping in the grave and my soul appears before the high tribunal of Almighty God.
