Excerpt from Slavery in the United States: Its Evils, Alleviations, and Remedies
Whoever reads these remarks will see that the subject under discussion is treated solely as a great social question; that the object has been to state some of the more material facts, which must necessarily control action in regard to it, and to suggest some practicable method of diminishing the evils of slavery, or of removing it altogether. Whether wisely or unwisely, all reference to its bearings on the politics of the day has been carefully avoided. Amidst all the changes of parties, slavery remains among us, and there seems but slight reason to anticipate any great improvement in the condition of the colored race in this country, through political action. At any rate, it cannot be undesirable to keep in view any other modes of action which are within our power; while the expression of the hope may be permitted, that a discussion of the subject in a manner so aside from its party relations may do something to promote a better and more friendly understanding between those whom the complex questions of the time have brought into temporary opposition and conflict. In reprinting the article, a few verbal alterations have been made, but they are of too little importance to require any special notice.
