Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Annual Report of the American and Foreign Anti-Slavery Society: Presented at New-York, May 6, 1851; With the Addresses and Resolutions
Four thousand years have passed. Here was a hardy nation who had scarcely shaken the sand out of their shoes, who had but just dried their garments - no, I for got! They crossed on dry land - they scarcely had found their place in their promised land, while their shoulders were yet sore with the burdens they had borne; theselaws for the slave; now the laws are for the master. Four thousand years ago, courts were established where the slave could go and tell his story; now there is not a court from Mason and Dixon's line to Texas, that will allow a black man, whether bond or free, to Open his lips. This rs the American system of servitude. That was the Hebrew! Are they alike? Do the outrages of American slavery find any countenance in the humanity and leniency of its oft alleged prototype?
