Book Description
Excerpt from A Discourse Delivered Before the African Society in Boston, 15th of July, 1822, on the Anniversary Celebration of the Abolition of the Slave Trade With all this provision for social order and happiness, mankind ought to live together as members of one large family; though separating from each other as they settle in the world, yet not disunited nor estranged; and, having a common interest, zealously engaged in promoting it. But the history of our species discovers to us how little this has been regarded by them. Instead of continuing to prove "how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity," they became selfish, sought to monopolize the bounties of nature, and aimed more at private gratification than the general benefit. Those who had obtained but a small share of what were considered the goods of life, grew envious of those who had more. Hence arose cupidity; and, to obtain what was coveted, resort was had to fraud or rapine. This occasioned contention. Those who possessed most power, or could bring the greater number to share with them as freebooters, were enabled to plunder the feeble and make a spoil of the unresisting. Where opposition was attempted, it served only to increase the contest with those who suffered wrong. Sometimes injuries provoked retaliation. Invasion of each others rights led to oppression, and incensed the passions to war. Such as were not slain in the conflict were taken captives, and subjugated to their conquerors, or sold as slaves to others. - Such was the origin of Slavery in ancient times. War was its hateful parent, Tyranny its cruel master, and degradation and suffering its remorseless lot. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
