Excerpt from The Wrong of Slavery, the Right of Emancipation: And the Future of the African Race in the United States It is little more than three years since the first insurgent gun was fired against Fort Sumter: three years, as we reckon time, a generation, if we calculate by the stirring events and far-reaching upheavals that have been crowded into the eventful months. Things move fast in days like these. War changes the legal relations of the combatants. War. in its progress, presents unlooked-for aspects of affairs, brings upon us necessities, opens up obligations. The rebellion - creator and teacher as well as scourge and destroyer - confers new rights, discharges from old bonds, imposes bounden duties. Great questions come to the surface. - questions of national policy, demanding solution. In deciding some of these, we find little aid from precedent, for our condition as a nation is, to a certain extent, unprecedented. We have been trying an experiment that never was tried in the world before. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
