Opis: Annual Report of the Board of Managers of the Young Men's Colonization Society of Pennsylvania, 1837 - Pennsylvania Young Men's Colonization

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Board of Managers of the Young Men's Colonization Society of Pennsylvania, 1837: Read February 22, 1837

The circumstances connected with colonization in Africa, and with the efforts of the friends of the cause in Pennsylvania and the United States generally, during the past year, furnish abundant reasons for congratulation to the great human family, however diversified by color or other peculiarities.

There, we know, live several communities of free men, speaking our own language, believers in our holy religion, enjoying ample scope for the exercise of industry in agriculture, commerce, and the arts; men who but a short time ago were slaves, fearful and suspicious - themselves regarded with dislike and mistrust, for whom and for whose children the future, on this earth, promised no amelioration.

Here, we feel and know to be more and more diffused that cause which enlists among its friends and advocates, patriots of all sections of the union and of all parties and creeds; which prompts the slaveholder of the south to emancipate his slaves, and citizens of every calling in the north to provide for the new freed-men a home and a refuge in the land of their fathers, - far from oppressive or partial laws and equally oppressive and partial usages of society.

The hopes held out in the last report of this Board, of a speedy resettlement of Bassa Cove, and of reparation of damages suffered through the arts of the slave dealer, have been fully realized. The colonists, aided by the Governor of Liberia, Dr. Skinner, resumed their possessions in December, 1835; and measures were taken immediately afterwards to ensure them adequate protection against future violence.
