Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wrong of Slavery, the Right of Emancipation: And the Future of the African Race in the United States
The experiment we have been trying for more than three-quarters of a century was, whether, over social and industrial elements thus discordant, a republican government, asserting freedom in thought, in speech, in action, can be peacefully maintained. Grave doubts, gloomy apprehensions, touching the nation's Future, have clouded the hopes of our wisest public men in days past. Even the statesmen of the Revolution saw on the horizon the cloud no bigger than a man's hand. Gradually it rose and spread and darkened. The tempest burst upon us at last. Then some, faint-hearted and despairing of the Re public, prophesied that the good old days were gone, never to return. Others, stronger in hope and faith.
