6. The evil of slavery is made manifest by the poverty of slave states, compared with the free. Most of travel- ers who have been at pains to compare them, agree that the southern states are at least a century behind the east- ern in point of improvement. The reason of this differ- ence can be nothing else than that a large proportion of the inhabitants in the southern states are maintained in idleness ; whereas, in the free states, the great majority of the inhabitants are employed in lawful i...ndustry. The evil effects of slavery upon the slaves themselves are, 1. Gross ignorance of the way of salvation through Jesus Christ. Deprived of the sweetness and comfort enjoyed by reading the word of God, and living without any well-grounded hope of eternal life, they are liable to die in despair, or else in a state of brutish stupidity. 2. They are deprived of comfort with their families, which are liable to be sold, and dispersed so as perhaps never to see each other more. 3. Perpetual celibacy, or unavoidable adultery, very often necessitous theft, lying, low cunning, dirtiness, in- decency, fornication.
