Project Gutenberg 2004-02-01 Public domain in the USA. 220 American Anti-Slavery Society The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 1 of 4 Produced by Stan Goodman, Amy Overmyer and PG Distributed Proofreaders "The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Part 1 of 4" by the American Anti-Slavery Society is a significant historical publication dating from the early 19th century. This work serves as a polemic against the institution of slavery, aiming to awaken the conscience of its readers concerning the iniquities faced by enslaved individuals in America and the moral implications of such a system. Spanning several distinct essays and addresses, it appeals to the populace, particularly those who value their rights and the integrity of their moral and political traditions. The opening of "The Anti-Slavery Examiner" presents a passionate argument directed to the people of the United States, emphasizing the urgency of recognizing their constitutional rights in the face of increasing oppression tied to slavery. The authors outline a grim scenario where rights such as freedom of speech and the right to petition are being suppressed by a "compact" between Northern politicians and Southern slaveholders. They poignantly detail how this compact has fostered an environment where even peaceful assemblies advocating for abolition have been violently disrupted, and call upon their fellow Americans to safeguard their liberties. Invoking the nation's founding principles, the text seeks to unite citizens against the encroaching tyranny that slavery represents, framing the fight against slavery as not only a moral imperative but a defense of democracy itself.
