Excerpt from African Colonization Its Principles and Aims: An Address
NO slave, however worthy, can henceforth, in Louisiana and several other States, have freedom conferred upon him while in those States; neither is be permitted to return after being emancipated. The Supreme Judicial Tribunal of Virginia have decided, that slaves have no civil or social rights, and that the slave cannot choose between freedom and slavery, if the Offer be made him by his master; and that, consequently, a slave left by his master with freedom, if he choose to take it, can have no legal right to choose freedom, and must, therefore, still be a slave. It will thus be seen that the free colored man is likely to be driven from the Southern States by new legislative enactments; and that, where wills allowing the slave, at the death of the master, to elect freedom or continue In servitude, were once favored, how they are under the ban of law.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history and principles of the American Colonization Society, founded in 1816 by Robert Finley to establish a colony in Africa for freed slaves and free people of color. The author argues that the society's ultimate goal was to encourage voluntary emigration of free people of color to Africa, where they could establish an independent and honorable nationality. The book discusses the challenges faced by the society and the colony it founded in Liberia, as well as the changing attitudes towards the free people of color in the United States. The author concludes that the society's work was instrumental in the development of Liberia as a free and independent nation, and that its insights on the relationship between race, slavery, and colonization remain relevant today.
