Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Merits of the American Colonization Society: And a Reply to the Charges Brought Against It; With an Account of the British African Colonization Society
The present condition of the Natives in the vicinity of the society's settlement is most favourable to the efforts of the philanthropist; and that an attempt to instruct them in the Arts and Christianity will be successful, seems a1m08t certain. - 6th Report, 1823, p. 16.
But should the expectation of the Board, that the slave-trade will soon be stigmatized by the unanimous decision of all the Powers of Christendom, as an offence against the law of nations, be disappointed, much may be done towards its extermination by the influence of a colony which may open with the Natives a legitimate commerce, furnish them with agricul tural utensils, instruct them in the Arts and true religion, and exhibit before them the superior happiness of a humane, industrious, and Christian people.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the heated debate surrounding the American Colonization Society in the early 19th century. It delves into the motivations and strategies of the society, which aimed to relocate free Black Americans to Africa, arguing that this would benefit both the Black population and the United States as a whole. The author explores the complex interplay of abolitionism, slavery, and racial prejudice within the context of a young nation grappling with its identity. He meticulously analyzes the arguments for and against colonization, drawing attention to the societal anxieties and political implications surrounding the movement.
