Excerpt from Southern Rights and the Cuban Question: An Address, Delivered at Whippy Swamp, on the Fourth of July, 1855This is the picture we now behold of Islands, which once presented the appearance of a vast continuity of smiling gardens. The burning sirocco' of a most deadly fanaticism has passed over them all, and scorched them to cinders. Bigelow admits that, so far from emancipation having' bet tered the condition of the slaves themselves, they, are relapsing into the darkest idolatry, and in the interior, of the Island they already worship stones and serpents! The men pass their lives in gross brutalities, or drowzy laziness, and compel their wives and children to till the scanty pepper and pumkin patch. This, truly, 1s amelioration with a vengeance! God deliver our beloved country from such a fate!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
