I can prove the safety of immediate Emancipation by history.
He is moving the British Churches to send out to the churches of America the most solemn appeals, reproving, rebuking, and exhorting them with all long suffering and patience to abandon the sin of slavery immediately.
They were occasioned not by Emancipation, but by the base attempt to fasten the chains of slavery on the limbs of liberated slaves.
There is nothing to fear from immediate Emancipation, but every thing from the continuance of slavery.
