Excerpt from The Negro Labor: Question
The question of the condition and capability of the African Negro is at length beginning to assume a very different practical shape from any that it has ever yet had in the eyes of the world - in the eyes, indeed, of the Christian Church also, since opportunities are likely to be opened for conveying to those benighted mil lions of our fellow-creatures the light of the Gospel of Truth, such as have never, at any form er period, been within the power of Christendom. A necessity has arisen for the employment of negroes in various kinds of human labor for which they, above all others, are peculiarly adapted: nay, not only so, but, it would appear as the only people who are really fitted by na. Ture - that is, by their constitution, their organ ization, and other natural circumstances of their condition - to carry on such labor healthfully and properly. Not on this continent only, but in the Western Indies, and even in some eastern portions of the other great continent.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the ethical, social, and religious implications of employing African labor in the 19th century. The author argues that due to centuries of degradation inflicted upon the African people, they must be treated as children and compelled to work in order to lift themselves from their current state of depravity and misery. The author goes on to explain that even within so-called civilized society, no one enjoys absolute liberty and that submission to servitude can be a means of elevating an individual from a state of destitution. This book is recommended for those interested in the history of African slavery, the transatlantic slave trade, and the lingering effects of slavery on African people.
