To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The slave trade did not originate the sanguinary wars of the powerful kings of the interior, who, actuated by ambition of conquest, or love of plunder, laid waste the weaker nations that surrounded them, strewing the earth with their corpses, that they might decorate tlieir rude halls with skulls; but it has gready multiplied the petty feuds of smaller tribes and led the larger ones to make regular slave liunts, to supply the increasing demand for slave labor. And though the jReUgioiis T'lews o...f the Pilgrims. 27 slave tr^de, by awakening the passion of avarice into a predominance over that of superstition, may have limited the number of human sacrifices, it was but to prolonir a life tliat it might be subjected to all the vicissitudes of foreign slavery. And thus, while the social and moral condition of Africa, inde- pendent of the slave trade, was truly deplorable, and sufficient to rouse to action every man whose heart can sympadiize with human suffering, the slave trade rendered its condition still more dismal, making the call upon the Christian world for relief still more urgent.
