Book Description

Anderson, of Missouri, on the Principles and Policy of the Black Republican Party and the Duty of Whigs and Americans in the Approaching State and Presidential Elections: Delivered in the House of Representatives, February 16, 1860 These men of the North, whose fathers were originally responsible for the introduction of slavery who clamored for and carried on the African slave trade up to 1808, the last day of its constitutional limitation; who invested the proceeds of human beings sold into perpetual bondage, in land, houses and stocks; whose wealth, power and influence have been principally augmented by slave labor, and who would literally starve without the commercial intercourse of the slave States, are now demanding, that we shall surrender our slave pro perty, to satisfy their ideas of humanity and freedom.
