Excerpt from The Connection of Massachusetts With Slavery and the Slave-Trade: Read at the Annual Meeting of the American Antiquarian Society at Worcester, Mass;, October 21, 1886
I have cited this extract from Mr. Bancroft's History because the work is so easily accessible, the volume con taining it having been published nearly fifty years ago. Let us look at some of the facts on which this statement rests. And I invite this inspection not merely by way of answering the charges alleged, which would require but little time and but a small space in this paper, but to bring before us some of the facts and statistics relating to the British slave-trade, in a narrative form, as more suitable to an occasion like this.
