It declared the freedom of all slaves in any state of the Confederate States of America as did not return to Union control by January 1, 1863. Proclamation 95, the final Emancipation Proclamation was issued on January 1, 1863. This enumerated the specific states where it applied.

# Petition against the Introduction of Slavery

* sister projects: Wikidata item
A petition presented in 1739 by the inhabitants of Darien, also known as New Inverness, in the colony of Georgia against the introduction of slavery.

### Petition of the Inhabitants of New Inverness to His Excellency General Oglethorpe

We are informed that our Neighbors in Savannah have petitioned your Excellency for the Liberty of having Slaves: We hope, and earnestly intreat, that before such proposals are hearkened unto, your Excellency will consider our Situation, and of what dangerous and bad Consequences such Liberty would be of to us, for many reasons.
1) The Nearness of the Spaniards, who have proclaimed Freedom to all Slaves who run away from their Masters, makes it impossible for us to keep them, without more labor in guarding them than what we would be at to do their work. 2) We are laborious, & know a White Man may be, by the Year, more usefully employed than a Negroe. 3) We are not rich, and becoming Debtors for Slaves, in Case of their running away or dying, would inevitably ruin the poor Master , and he become a greater Slave to the Negroe-Merchant, than the slave he bought could be to him.
4) It would oblige us to keep a Guard Duty at least as Severe as when we expected a daily Invasion: And if that was the Case, how miserable would it be to us, and our Wives and Families, to have one Enemy without, and a more dangerous one in our Bosoms! 5) It is shocking to human Nature, that any Race of Mankind and their Posterity should be sentanc'd to perpetual Slavery; nor in Justice can we think otherwise of it, that they are thrown amongst us to be our Scourge one Day or other for our Sins: And as Freedom must be as dear to them as it is to us, what a Scene of Horror must it bring about! And the longer it is unexecuted, the bloody Scene must be the greater.
We therefore for our own Sakes, our Wives and Children, and our Posterity, beg your Consideration, and intreat, that instead of introducing Slaves, you'll put us in the Way to get some of our Countrymen, who, with their Labor in Time of Peace, and our Vigilance, if we are invaded, with the Help of those, will render it a difficult Thing to hurt us, or that Part of the Province we possess. We will forever pray for your Excellency, and are with all Submission, &c.

* BY THE
CITY OF BOSTON!
Our fathers commemorated the Massacre of the fifth of March, 1770, till that dark hour was lost in the blaze of the fourth day of July, 1776, and the events which followed it. It is for us, likewise, to keep before the people of the Commonwealth the late infamous deed of the City Government, until it be atoned for and forgotten in the joy of
GENERAL EMANCIPATION
All the lovers of Justice and Liberty are therefore invited to assemble
On MONDAY NEXT,
THE 12th DAY OF APRIL, AT THE
MELODEON!
AT 10 O'CLOCK, A. M.,
To commemorate the First Anniversary of the surrender of THOMAS SIMS, arrested, on false pretences, by a lying and disguised Police; subjected to the farce of a seeming trial before a Commissioner sitting behind bayonets and chains; carried off, at night, by armed men; all under the direction of a City Government confessing that they knew they were violating the laws of the State, and intended to do so; such was their "ALACRITY" in the discharge of this infamous "DUTY." The Morning Session of the Convention will be devoted to an Address by
Rev. THEODORE PARKER,
With appropriate religious exercises. The Afternoon and Evening Sessions, to Addresses from many of the most eloquent friends of the Slave.

# 1922 Encyclopædia Britannica/Bright, James Franck

See also James Franck Bright on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
BRIGHT, JAMES FRANCK (1832–1920), English historian, was born in London May 29 1832. He was the son of Richard Bright, the physician who first diagnosed “ Bright’s disease “ in 1827, and his mother was Eliza Follett, sister of Sir William Follett, who was solicitor-general and attorney-general in Peel’s administration (1834–1844). He was educated at Rugby under Dr. Arnold and at University College, Oxford, where he graduated with first-class honours in 1854. In 1856 he was ordained deacon and joined the staff of Marlborough College, and was the first public schoolmaster to organize a modern side. For this purpose he wrote the necessary school-books himself, including his well-known History of England. After his wife’s death in 1871 he left Marlborough and went to Oxford as a modern history tutor and lecturer at University, Balliol and New Colleges and in 1874 was elected to a fellowship at University and in 1878 to an honorary fellowship at Balliol. In 1881 he became master of University College, and threw himself with vigour into university and City life, becoming treasurer of the Radcliffe infirmary, and founder of the first technical school in Oxford, for which he presented a site. His latter years were spent at Ditchingham, Norfork, where he died Oct. 23 1920. He also published Lives of Maria Theresa and Joseph II. (1897).

# Edward Grim's account of the Murder of Thomas Becket

Edward Grim was a monk who watched the murder of Archbishop Thomas Becket.
The murderers followed him; 'Absolve', they cried, 'and restore to communion those whom you have excommunicated, and restore their powers to those whom you have suspended.'
He answered, 'There has been no satisfaction, and I will not absolve them.'
'Then you shall die,' they cried, 'and receive what you deserve.'
'I am ready,' he replied, 'to die for my Lord, that in my blood the Church may obtain liberty and peace. But in the name of Almighty God, I forbid you to hurt my people whether clerk or lay.'
Then they lay sacrilegious hands on him, pulling and dragging him that they may kill him outside the church, or carry him away a prisoner, as they afterwards confessed. But when he could not be forced away from the pillar, one of them pressed on him and clung to him more closely. Him he pushed off calling him 'pander', and saying, 'Touch me not, Reginald; you owe me fealty and subjection; you and your accomplices act like madmen.'
The knight, fired with a terrible rage at this severe repulse, waved his sword over the sacred head. 'No faith', he cried, 'nor subjection do I owe you against my fealty to my lord the King.'
Then the unconquered martyr seeing the hour at hand which should put an end to this miserable life and give him straightway the crown of immortality promised by the Lord, inclined his neck as one who prays and joining his hands he lifted them up, and commended his cause and that of the Church to God, to St. Mary, and to the blessed martry Denys. Scarce had he said the words than the wicked knight, fearing lest he should be rescued by the people and escape alive, leapt upon him suddenly and wounded this lamb who was sacrificed to God on the head, cutting off the top of the crown which the sacred unction of the chrism had dedicated to God; and by the same blow he wounded the arm of him who tells this. For he, when the others, both monks and clerks, fled, stuck close to the sainted Archbishop and held him in his arms till the one he interposed was almost severed.
Then he received a second blow on the head but still stood firm. At the third blow he fell on his knees and elbows, offering himself a living victim, and saying in a low voice, 'For the Name of Jesus and the protection of the Church I am ready to embrace death.'
Then the third knight inflicted a terrible wound as he lay, by which the sword was broken against the pavement, and the crown which was large was separated from the head. The fourth knight prevented any from interfering so that the others might freely perpetrate the murder.
As to the fifth, no knight but that clerk who had entered with the knights, that a fifth blow might not be wanting to the martyr who was in other things like to Christ, he put his foot on the neck of the holy priest and precious martyr, and, horrible to say, scattered his brain and blood over the pavement, calling out to the others, 'Let us away, knights; he will rise no more.'
