South Carolina was among tlie very first to oppose tiiis declaration. Her resistance brought out, on the part of the mother country, an order forbidding all Gover. Dors, under the severest penalty, to countenance any law which should have for its object the destruction of the slave trade. The same oppo- sition was offered by other of the colonies; and when, as late as 1774, an attempt was made in the island of Jamaica to put an end to the system, tlie answer was — that " the people of Great Bri...tain could not allow tlic colonies to check or discourage, in any degree, a traffic ao beneficial to tlie nation. "* It surely should be no subject of wonder, that the same spirit of commercial avarice, in time, seized upon the merchants of our own country. The great success attending the English trader, in this market, induced many speculators, North and East, soon after the revolution, to engage in a pursuit promising to be so profitable. By their united operations, in the short period between the years 1804 and 1807, no less than 39, 075 slaves were imported into South Carolina.
