Excerpt from The Emancipation of the Negroes in the British West Indies: An Address Delivered at Concord, Massachusetts, on 1st August, 1844 East Indies, had been moved to come and cheer the poor victim with the hope of some reparation, In a future world, of the wrongs he suffered in this, these missionaries were perse outed by the planters, their lives threatened, their chapels burned, and the negroes furiously forbidden to go near them. These outrages rekindled the flame of British indignation. Petitions poured into Parliament: a million persons signed their names to these; and in 1855, on the 14th May, Lord Stanley, minister of the colonies, introduced into the House of Commons his bill for the Emancipation.
