Excerpt from The Sin of Slavery, and Its Remedy: Containing Some Reflections on the Moral Influence of African Colonization The American revolution was incomplete. It left one sixth part of the population the victims of a servitude immeasurably more de basing, than that from which it delivered the rest. While this na tion held up its declaration of independence - its noble bill of human rights, before an admiring world, in one hand it mortified the friends of humanity, by oppressing the poor and defenceless with the other. The progress of time has not lessened the evil. There are now held in involuntary and perpetual slavery, in the southern half of this re public, more than of men, women, and children, guarded with a vigilance, which strives, and with success appalling as it is complete, to shut out every ray of knowledge, human and divine, and reduce them as nearly as possible to a level with the brutes. These miserable slaves are not only compelled to labor without choice and without hire, but they are subjected to the cruelty and lust of their masters to an unbounded extent. In the northern states there is very generally a sympathy with the slave-holders, and a prejudice against the slaves, which shows itself in palliating the crime of slave-holding, and in most unrighteously disregarding the rights, and vilifying the characters of the free colored men.
