The letters for the further procedure
are interesting; they instructed the
captain as to his commission CASUALLY
five percent of the price of the slaves
sold) the places where the slaves might
be sold to avoid their being brought
into New England, and various in
structions as to the number of females
and children to be sought. Some kind
hearted shipowners asked that the
captains make 'as swift a voyage as
you might, so that they (the slaves)
not be taken sick; others warned them
to feed their slaves we'll and by no
means beat them. One shipowner
found himself torn between the die

because of the moral implications in
volved, then mentioned, in addition.
that the penalty for carrying even one
slave was as great as that for trans
porting two thousand of them.
Captain Peter Gwinn must have been
a bit confused as his instructions
reached him from his owner on the
high seas. At one time he was told
carefully how to buy and what slaves
to reject on the African coast around
Surinam, but was cautioned to carry
no rum, as it might bring confscation
Of the vessel. While slaves (this was
1865, before Massachusetts outlawed
slavery in 1889 might be enterable in
Boston, the good Puritans and Quak-
ers positively would tolerate no traffic
in rum.
In the face of these readinesses to
traffic in human misery, however,
there was a growing sentiment in
favor of maintaining and spreading,
even to the slaves, the priceless liberty
for which the settlers of Massachu-
setts had left their homes to seek.
Hence, we find the passage of a strin-
gent anti-slavery measure in the
General Court in 1888; shortly after
ward, the walls of that staid building
were to ring time after time with the
eloquent pleas of liberal Massachusetts
citizens against abuses of the liberties
of former bondsmen, and even with the
desperate oratory of the slaves them
selves, as they sought their freedom
or redress for wrongs done them as
they sought to enjoy liberty with the
other settlers.
Next week: some of the more
famous fights of the slaves for liberty.)

Authors Note: This is the first of a
series of approximately twelve articles
on the history of the cOlOred residents
of Massachusetts from the appearance
of the race on these shores, sometime
prior to 1888, to the present. 1t can
not attempt to cover the subject fully,
but will endeavOr to present some of
the lesser-knOwn facts that are now
about to be brought Interestingly to
light in the forthcoming survey of his

New England, and Massachusetts in
particular, formed the nucleus around
which the anti-slavery movement in
this country was built. From this sec
ton came many of the foremost fight
ers for the freedom and liberty of the
'under-dOg', the slave who was brought
to these shores against his will and
who became a much-sought-after item
of barter and sale. 1t is not to be
assumed, however, that this abolition
mlndedness was either general or
genuine in all cases; some of the great

One Capt. John Smith, for instance
whether THE Capt. John Smith or
not is not made clear) had to have his
hands severely slapped for his effort
to bring slaves into the Massachusetts

been outlawed; many were the letters
exchanged between Boston shipowners
and their captains on the high seas
concerning the purchase and sale of
slaves, their handling, etc. For in
