Overview

Excerpt from African Colonization There are, in the United States, two races, the white and the colored. Brought from Africa, origi nally, as slaves, the progenitors of the last have trans mitted, even to the free of their decsendants, the memories and the associations of servitude, which cannot be shaken off while a portion of the same people, still in bondage, suggests, everlastingly, the history and the degradation of the past. Before Emancipation commenced, the relations of the races, as a matter of feeling, were probably of rare discus sion. When the first ship-load of slaves was landed, under colonial rule, in the Chesapeake, the wisest of the Virginia adventurers never dreamed that a day would come, when the descendants of the captives would be the alumni of colleges, distinguished mem bers of the liberal professions, and filling, because fit to fill, political offices of the highest civilization.
