- Lot Description
[ABOLITION]. Report of the committee, to whom was referred the memorial of the president and board of managers of the American Society for Colonizing the Free People of Color of the United States. [Washington: Edward de Krafft?], 1818. 8vo. 5 pp. 20th century wrappers (light spotting to text). A RARE AND EARLY REPORT FROM THE AMERICAN COLONIZATION SOCIETY, read to the House of Representatives for the 15th Congress. The report, possibly read by the ACS founder Robert Finely, encouraged and supported the migration of free African Americans to Africa. The report calls the slave trade a ?inhuman traffic? that Americans cannot but ?sympathize in the wish to redeem from ignorance, barbarism, and superstition, a continent of vast extant, spread out beneath every climate, embracing every variety of soil, and inhabited by a much injured and degraded portion of the human race?. The ACS would succeed in 1820 with over 4,000 emigrants arriving to the newly formed American colony of Liberia in West Africa. Not in Howes or Sabin; Shaw & Shoemaker 46563.
