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 now propose to read some notes on a subject not new, in fact rather old, and I hope I may not tire the patience of my hearers. The subject is - The Connection of Massachusetts with the Slave-Trade and with Slavery. Grave charges have sometimes been made against Massachusetts in relation to this subject. They were repeated by Jefferson Davis in his message to the so-called Confederate States, April 29, 1861,1 and more recently they have been served up to us anew in a more florid style in the Senate of the United States, in words which I shall now take for my text.
