Instead of supporting freedom, does it not advocate slavery and oppression?
Such was the sentiment of North Carolina in 1774, as to the evil and great wrong of slavery.
This time-honored compact was annulled, the barrier between freedom and slavery broken down.
Slavery had then existed in this country more than two hundred years, yet scarce a man could be then found so bold and so reckless as to proclaim it just and righteous, a humane, a Christian institution.
