Book Description
Excerpt from An Address, Delivered Before the Portsmouth Anti-Slavery Society Independence - this grand national jubilee, while the star-span gled banner of freedom is proudly waving o'er the heads of thir teen millions of freemen, there are, in our glorious Union, three millions of our fellow-beings, who, in the language of the Decla ration of Independence, were created equal - who were en dowed by their Creator, with certain unalienable rights; among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness but who are robbed not only of these rights, but all other human rights, by the hand of violence and oppression. The infidel may scorn fully affirm, that these humble, degraded slaves do not possess the immortal soul; that they did not originate from the same an cestors as did the white man, but that they sprang from the Mon key tribe) But to arrive at that preposterous conclusion, the infidel is under the necessity of rejecting the lights of Christian ity, of Science, and of Philosophy. When the sacred Scriptures expressly declare, that God hath made of one blood all the na tions of the earth, we are bound to believe that the declaration is true, or else reject the Christian Revelation as a fiction.
