Until 1843, onlj Tifty 3 cars nyo,
Alnean bondage prevailed not only
in many of the -less civilized conn-
tries of Kurope ami South America,
but in Kngland, the foremost and
most, enlightened govern iti nt in the
world. Early in this century the
blave tradjt became odious to all phil
anthropists, tut slavery itself was
not. The brutality with which the
trade was i:o"duetel and the "hor ro: s
of the middle passage,, as it was
called, Mud awakened the pity of man
kind; and bv cot mon consent the
traffic in Africans and their transpor
tition to other countries were prohib
ited -und-r the severest penalties,
both in . "Europe and the United
States,
But, still the institution of slavery
. continued where it hail been planted.
It not culy continued, but was en

the plant of this great reform wus of
grwth, and emancipation was
riot accomplished until long' after
IVilberforee had died. In 1843, the
hIu ves of K-nghmd and all her colon
ieswere emancipated, and their own
era were paid $300,0 0 000 for ttn?m
out of the national treasury.
The sentiment of the people of the
United States against slavery was
more pronounced than it was m Kng:

provide for immediate or gradual
emancipation. Georgia was the firs,
state to prohibit the slave trade with
'Africa, and she kept that prohibition
inviolate while some of the northern
states carried it on long after their,
own slaves were emancipated. There
was to them no profit in slavery, but
there was fabulous gains in the traffic.
Hence, they gradually disposed of
their own by sending them socth. and!
in some instances the young of their

in this infamous traffic. Slavery it

Still tlu-re was an intelligent and
inlluential number of our people
who favored gradual emancipation.
This sentiment was slon ly hut sure

Clay, of Kentucky.
the New E . gland abolitioni.-ts waged
their, uncea-ing war upon the south.
Our people re.nted tlieir threatiud

William Loyu Garrison, of Boston,
founded the anUsIavcry party in
1831, Arthur Tappan became its
fourtli president in 1833.. They ex
pended much in one' in magnifying

ious that' many large fortunes were
h'ood money f the slave trade, and
owned their existence to tiie wretcii

of the middle passage. But thin

the government that recognized slav

their party grew stronger they b
came wiore aggressive, and in 1844
1
the free soil parly openly avowed
that tlieir object was t effect a dis
solution of the union and to form a
northern republic, They said that a
union with slavery in it was a league
with hel! and a cnenani with death.
They wre the first secessionists and
remained so until the late civil war.
The troops they furnished and ' the
money they so freely contributed
were not lor the ..'maintenance bf the
union, but to conquer the south -and
liberate the slaves. When NaXha-niel
Hawthorne vvas ake 1 in 18G1 if be
was not m favor of the war ho repli
ed : 'es, I suppose so, but really I
don't see what we have to fighU
about," It seemed to him that the
south had done just wh ;t New Ehg
land desired her to do that is to sc
cede.
This desperate hase and intensifi
ery. They chelated that all laws of J ought to be hurled from the bench.'
And so the traffic went on' uumol
esled. The New York Evening Post
stated that no less than eighty-five
vessels left the port of New York in
1859 and 18G0, built, maned and
equipped in New England for the
African slave trade, and that ihey
draught away no less than than thir
tv thousand slaves to Brazil and lUe
soutlu But-still there were no prose
euthms. The navies of the world
seemed to be asleep or pe roups' the
traffic was oti 11 ' winked ut ' by the
inerctiaut shs" f hut traversed the
sea;. Whether it. has ceased "since
s.'iQt he'ri'sfavery was abolished is hot
known, but a. telegram to The Asso
ciation Press tells of a cargo that was
recent' wrecked off Madagascar
coast. ....
This much has been recorded to
show to the youths' of this generation
that neither Georgia nor the south
was responsible for slaveiy nor the
traffic in them across the seas, for
from '17.76 do .vn-to the present, there
was but a singie. attempt made by a

vessel to Philadelphia. From there
they made tiieir return to Georgia
through the friendly aid of. MoweM
Cobb and Alex. H. Siepnens, who
furnished them with the tuettns of
coming home, This case is full' re
ported in one of the earlier volumns
of our". supreme court reports, for li e

maslers ow'n'd the best of the land
and had the beat stock and the best
houses andools and vehicles while
the toilcrs hadto take what they
could ge iio wonder they were
jeaujuus of the institution.
And yet these men, poor and strug
ling for a livelihood in the mountains
of north Georgia or down in the piney
woods, did not hesitate to shoulder
their riflas and hurry to their coun
try's call. "My country wrong or
right'' was their motto. Only one
seventh of the taxpayers of the state
were owners f)f slaves m 1800 and
not more than one soldier in ten was
interested in slavery. In fact, some
counties in north Georgia sent more
soldie;s to the field than there were
slaves in the county,

time to cut loose from 'em and fight
