Excerpt from Considerations on the Continuance of the Slave Trade, and of the Use of Slaves in the British Colonies
Whatever may be the situation of the people of Africa among themselves, their being sent away from their native country and kindred attachments into foreign Slavery, is as much the object of their aversion as it would be of ours to receive the same treatment at their hands; and any laws we can make for regulating the trade and treatment of Slaves, cannot be expected to produce any other change in their minds, than would be made in our own by any regulations which, under a reverse of circumstances, might be made as to the manner in which we should be treated on our being delivered into their hands; and their aversion to foreign Slavery, continuing to be the fame after any new regulations of ours may be made, they will of course continue to use, as they have done, their utmost efforts to prevent themselves from being taken and sent down to their sea coast and delivered into our hands.
