Excerpt from The Relations of Slavery to the War: And the Position of the Clergy at the Present TimeAlthough negro slavery, a century or so later, prevailed to some extent in England, it never received the general sanction of the Courts, and, in the celebrated decision of Lord Mans field, made in 1772, it was shown that no slave could be retained, against his will, by the law of the realm. Slavery was a condition so odious, in the language of Lord Manse field's decision, that nothing could be suffered to support it but positive law, and that support it never had from the law of England, either in Britain or in the Colonies.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
