Mr.. Reid says: "This Political History
| is written with the fullness of knowledge
that comes from having seen many of the
events from the inside they occurred,
| from a lifelong familiarity with and study
from access to much unpublished infor-

and Governor Brough, in the RECORDS or
the state office held during critical aas part

Again: LAS time goes on fuller justice

ments by which a free people enlarged the
bounds of freedom, to communities and

Anglo-saxon institutions; to Horace

In Chapter I, the author says: If there
is one thing clearly established, it is that
slavery was deprecated by the men who
formed the Constitution; who, recognize
ing that such an institution was inconsis-
tent with Christian civilization inconsis-
tent with the great principles of civil lib
erty for which the colonies had contended,
| and which constitute the basis of our Re
public, refrained from inserting In that
great charter a name so repulsive to free
DOM We must conclude that they were
percipient witnesses to the public sentl-
| ment Of that day. There was no state
feeling that it was injurious to society
! was in no sense dependent upon sectional
lines. It's ultimate extinction was gener-
ally confidently expected: emancipation
was to be the rule This came early north
of Maryland, and it is not unreasonable
! to suppose that if there had been no inhi-
bition Of the African slave trade emanci-
Maryland, North Carolina, Kentucky and
Tennessee"
Opposition to the institution of slavery
arose from religious convictions as to it's
sinfulness or from economic and social
policies. The resistance of those who
with Mr.. Jefferson condemned it because
of its destructive influence became as
impotent as his. or succumbed to the vio-
lencee, of political forces; while that hav,,
ing it's source in religious feelings played
an important part in the creation Of a
third party. The Society Of Friends led all
other denominations in the employment
OF moral influence for the eradication of
slavery, though there. were not wanting
outspoken utterances in the Presbyterian,
Baptist and Methodist churches at an
early day, especially in Ohio, Kentucky
and Tennessee
Some years ago one who had been
conspicuous as a leader in the anti-slav
cry contest endeavored to show the un2
faithfulness of current. history in dealing
with the genesis of modern abllitiOniSnl,
