Overview

Excerpt from Emigration of Free and Emancipated Negroes to Africa: An Address Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Louisiana State Colonization Society In the East, and to some considerable degree every where, except where the anglo-saxon race prevails, there is little or no prejudice founded on the distinction of color. The avenues of preferment are open to all; and he, who is most skilful, industrious, persevering and accomplished in his business or profession, whatever his complexion may be, whether ruddy, pale, fair, brown or black, is most certain of success. But it is not so with us. It is no matter whether the prejudice that prevents the amalgamation of the anglo-saxon and African races, has arisen from the mere force of circumstances, or was implanted for wise and holy purposes by the Creator, at or before the dispersion at Babel, which is most probably. It is enough that it exists: and exists with such a resistless and pervading force, that an assimilation of the races, if it were even desirable, is absolutely impossible.
