The Christian Examiner, Vol. 7 (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Christian Examiner, Vol. 7 It is a wise maxim which asserts that No law 18 stronger than public opinion and it was practically proven in the operation Of these great national laws, North and South. The people of the free-labor States could not see why the declaration of our great Charter of Liberty, that All men were created free and equal, excluded black men. Nor why those inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness, should be alienated by being born of a slave mother. The people of the slave-labor States could not see any crime in buying a cargo of Africans taken in negro battle, liable to be Cooked and eaten, or, worse, enslaved, if not sold to whites, and who had some chance of civilization and Christianity by importation. How could it seem a crime, its Causes, Conduct, and Results. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
