Sinossi
Excerpt from An Address to the Public: With an Appendix
We ask your contributions. A subscriber of thirty dollars at one time becomes a member for life of the National Society. The payment of ten dollars at one time, or of one dollar annually is the condition of membership in this auxiliary. How many men are there in Connecticut who might, without material in convenience to themselves, and without subtracting any thing from their ordinary charities,-constitute themselves life members of the parent institution? How many more who might with equal ease become either annual or life subscribers to the Con necticut Society? How many ministers of every denomination might be constituted members of the National or State Society, by the benefactions of their people? In which of our towns or villages might not the exertions of a few spirited individuals secure a public contribution to this great national object, on the anniversary of our independence? There are in this State one hundred and twenty-nine incorporated towns. If the average amount of only thirty dollars could be raised annually among the citizens of each of these towns, it would send nearly four thousand dollars every year to diminish the yearly increasing pressure of the greatest curse which rests upon this nation, and to build up the institutions of freedom and intelligence and piety on a continent over which darkness and misery have brooded for uncounted generations.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents original writing and speeches by prominent figures, including the President of the Colonization Society, the Governor of Connecticut, and many Christian leaders, all advocating a new strategy for ending the abhorrent practice of slavery in the United States by supporting the establishment of a colony in Africa for free Black people. The author argues that while slavery will likely persist in the U.S. for some time, with the establishment of new, free, Black communities in Africa, there will be sufficient economic pressure and public opinion brought to bear against the continuation of slavery, to ultimately bring about its demise. The author details the efforts to establish the colony of Liberia, the first of these free communities, and the progress it had made up to the moment of the book's writing. Positioning the establishment of the colony within the broader context of efforts to end slavery at the time, the author provides a deep analysis of the theme of abolition and racial justice, and presents compelling arguments that ending slavery in the United States is both possible and necessary. This book is a compelling and fascinating read for anyone interested in the history of the abolitionist movement, the history of Liberia, or modern-day issues of racial justice and reparations.
