Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex history and future possibilities surrounding the African race, exploring themes of slavery, colonization, and the transformative power of faith. The author examines biblical prophecies and historical events to understand God's dealings with the African people, tracing their journey from early prominence in arts and civilization to centuries of oppression and the horrors of the slave trade. The narrative underscores the devastating impact of slavery on both individuals and nations, highlighting the cyclical nature of oppression and the urgent need for change. The author argues for the abolition of slavery and the slave trade, advocating for the power of truth, love, and Christian principles to guide this transformation. Colonization emerges as a central theme, with the American Colonization Society presented as a key instrument in God's plan to elevate the African race. The book envisions a future where Africa is redeemed and Christianized, where its people are liberated from bondage and empowered to build a thriving society. It emphasizes the importance of aligning human efforts with divine will, urging readers to become co-workers with God in achieving these ends. The author's insights offer a compelling perspective on the historical injustices faced by the African race and illuminate a path towards a future of hope, freedom, and spiritual awakening.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book challenges prevailing beliefs about freedom and slavery in the United States during the 19th century. The author argues that the enslavement of African people was not just a cruel practice, but an institution that corrupted the moral fabric of the nation and endangered its future. Through a detailed analysis of laws, customs, and social norms, the book reveals the profound ways in which slavery degraded both the enslaved and the enslavers. It also examines the deplorable conditions faced by free Black people, who were denied basic rights and opportunities. Beyond its historical analysis, the book explores the concept of colonization as a solution to the problem of slavery, advocating for the establishment of a free Black colony in Africa as a means of restoring their dignity and creating a more just and equitable society.

John Kendrick Converse (1801-1880) was a Dartmouth student who left for financial reasons to teach in Nottaway County, Virginia. Converse graduated from Hampden-Sidney College in Virginia in 1827. He subsequently received the degree of A.B. from Dartmouth and graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1832. That year, Converse was installed as pastor of the Congregational faith in Burlington, Vermont. "Having seen much of the workings of slavery during his residence in Virginia, and being thoroughly interested in the welfare of the colored race, he early took strong interest in the American Colonization Society, and in the Republic of Liberia, as affording a solution of the great southern problem. He was the active secretary of the Vermont Colonization Society for over twenty-five years. he was the agent of the American Colonization Society for Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and northern New York, speaking in many pulpits, raising funds and devoting himself to the work of the Society with characteristic earnestness and success."
