Book Description
Excerpt from Centennial Anniversary of the Pennsylvania Society: For Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, the Relief of Free Negroes, Unlawfully Held in Bondage, and for Improving the Condition of the African Race The "Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage, and for Improving the Condition of the African Race," celebrated its Centennial Anniversary at Concert Hall, in Philadelphia, Wednesday, April 14th, 1875. The organization is the oldest and most efficient of all that rallied around the same humane cause, but has received less recognition than others that accomplished no tithe of its work. The history of the Society touches that of the Western Continent. Spain enslaved and exported Indians here as early as 1495. The difficulty of procuring Indians and the need for labor induced the Spaniards to import negroes to the New World soon after. The Emperor Charles V.licensed a Fleming to ship negroes to the West Indies. Other European nations imitated this conduct, and slavery was naturalized. Before 1776 more than 300, 000 negroes arrived. The Continental Congress forbade the importation to the United States in 1776, but Congress was forbidden by the Constitution to stop the trade before 1808, although Washington, Hamilton, Jefferson, Jay, Franklin, Madison and many of their great cotemporaries saw its conflict with the Declaration and opposed its tolerance. They hoped, however, that an institution so foreign to the genius of the land, to Christianity, education, civilization and industry would die from its own baseness, and shrank from awakening sectional feeling and interfering with business interests. They even conceded to the South some advantages for preserving the system, under a conviction that it must die there as it had died at the North. The politicians and merchants were foremost in this compromise between right and wrong, and the mass of the people were not unwilling abettors, The old Abolition Society did not participate in this dangerous and costly blunder. They were sagacious, principled and humane men. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Oldest Abolition Society: Being a Short Story of the Labors of the Pennsylvania Society for Promoting the Abolition of Slavery, the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage, and for Improving the Condition of the African Race It is true that many of the patriots of the colo nial and the early constitutional period, both in the North and in the South, regretted the presence of the peculiar institution, and hoped for its future disappearance. Among this number were many slaveholders, such as Thomas Jefferson and Patrick Henry. As an offset to this nominal anti-slavery sentiment, was a collection of vigorous and united men from what later became the cotton states, who noisily and belligerently contended for the maintenance of the institution They secured the constitutional guarantees for slavery, and were the sires of the men who pressed the issue to the final effort to overthrow the Union.
