Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Great Future of America and Africa: An Essay Showing Our Whole Duty to the Black Man, Consistent With Our Own Safety and Glory
The following pages are addressed alike to the American of the white race, and the free Negro of the United States. They embrace the outline of an extensive system of reform, including the ulti mate emancipation of the entire African race; not by the slow process of colonization, by a private society with slender means; nor by the headlong policy of abolition, which asks of the master sa orifices that never will be - never can be made. This system includes also the permanent and etico tual establishment of common schools, with ample provision for their maintenance; and it provides ih cidentally for the gradual extinguishment of the debts of those states which are now burdened with such responsibilities, and for many other public facilities to all the states, without undue or inequit able advantage to any of them. Nor, in effecting these desirable purposes, does it propose any un constitutional or anti-american proceeding.
The reader will be startled, perhaps, at the vast ness of such a scheme, Probably, he may exclaim.
