Excerpt from Slavery and the Domestic Slave Trade, in the United States Slavery is the exercise of arbitrary power, vested in one man over another, by the sanction of law, or common usage; extending, in some cases, to the taking of life, as among the ancient Romans; and in others, accompanied by certain restraints, imparting to it a mild and lenient character, as that which prevailed among the Israelites. Hence, the records of history exhibit this institution among the nations of antiquity, in different degrees of severity, between these two extremes. The term slavery, therefore, furnishes us with no just conceptions of the amount of evil embraced by it, and it becomes necessary in order to arrive at this knowledge, to inquire into its character in each particular case or nation. In justification of this institution in the United States, it is alleged, that slavery has existed in every age of the world; that the scriptures lend it their unqualified sanction; that the slavery now existing on the continent of Africa is in its character more rigorous than that in the United States; and hence, that the condition of the natives brought from that country, has been improved by the exchange. As these arguments intrude upon us at the threshold, we will give them a brief consideration, before entering upon the main subject of this treatise.

Excerpt from History of the Rise and Fall of the Slave Power in America, Vol. 2 Mr. Evans then proposed that Florida should be required to amend her constitution before admission. But his Democratic colleague, Mr. Fairfield, though admitting that these provisions were unconstitutional and that they ought to be changed, avowed his determination to vote for her admission, because, he contended, if she had a right to be admitted at all, she was entitled to admission on an equal footing with the original States.

Excerpt from A Visit to the United States To supply the slave-markets of the Western world, one hundred and twenty thousand native Africans are, on the most moderate calculation, annually required whilst the slave-markets of the East require fifty thousand more. In procuring these victims of a guilty traffic, to be devoted to the rigours of perpetual slavery, it is computed that two hundred and eighty thousand perish in addition, and under circumstances the most revolting and afflicting. But this is not all. In the Southern section of the United States, and in British India, a vast internal slave trade is carried on, second only in horror and extent to that which has so long desolated and degraded Africa.
