Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Essays on Slavery: Re-Published From the Boston Recorder Telegraph, for 1825
IT is needless to observe, that no efforts have yet been able to effect a suppression of the African slave-trade. So long as a de mand for slaves exists, this odious commerce in human ?esh will continue, in defiance of law, danger, and death. After all that has been done, the root of the evil has hardly been touched. America has a most important work to do, and it is high time it was begun. In this boasted land of liberty and equal rights, there is a nation of slaves. And I now say, we have no right to hold them in bondage.
I would premise, that when I speak of right, I mean absolute fight, and I understand those actions to be absolutely right.
