Synopsis
Excerpt from Colonization of the Free Colored Population of Maryland, and of Such Slaves as May Hereafter Become Free: Statement of Facts, for the Use of Those Who Have Not Yet Reflected on This Important Subject
The truth of the above remarks is so manifest, that it cannot be contested; and every man bf sense, whether he be white or co lored, who reflects upon the subject, must see there is but one remedy for the enumerated evils. That remedy is removal. As it is clearly impossible for'the whites to remove, who are the vast majority, and possess the government, the soil, education, &c. &c., it follows that the colored population must remove, beginning with those that are now free, and continuing with those that may hereafter become so.
Experience has already proved, that where the free people of color shall begin to be removed, many slave-holders who would never consent to give their slaves freedom and let them remain here, will manumit them on condition of their going away. Merely to manumit them would not always be a benefit. They can never be but nominally free; their previous habits disqualify them: often for proper exertions here for their own support; their low and hopeless rank in society deprives them of all honorable ambition. 'for these reasons, it seems to be decided by the public sentiment, that to inspire them with a proper feeling of emulation, they must be placed in a state of society where they will enjoy equal rights in every respect.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the compelling issue of removing and colonizing free Black Americans, arguing that it is the only remedy for the evils of slavery and racial prejudice prevalent in the United States. The author asserts that the existence of a colored population is incompatible with republican principles and perpetuates a system of inequality. The book proposes the gradual removal of free Black Americans to Liberia, a colony founded on the west coast of Africa, as a means of providing them with equal rights and opportunities. The author highlights the progress and success achieved by the colony, including its economic growth, establishment of schools and churches, and suppression of the slave trade. By examining the historical context of racial oppression and the efforts of the American Colonization Society, the book underscores the significance of this initiative in addressing societal issues and promoting human rights. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
