To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And yet, while the slave trade on the Afri- can coast was tolerated, New-England men, wc have been often told, were the most active of all our citizens, in prosecuting this barbarous trafRck. They built and navigated the ships, and forged the chains, in which multitudes of the wretched blacks were carried across the ocean ; and have, in many instances, built their superb mansions, and filled their store-houses, and furnished their splendid tables and wardrobes, with the avails of this execrable... trade in human bodies and souls.
To show the enormity of this guilt, I would direct your attention to the African coasts, beleaguered with slave ships, from nations call- ed christian, from our own, among the rest, exciting the native chiefs by offers of intoxicating liquors, and gaudy trappings, and military munitions, to steal upon each other's villages in the dead of night ; and seize, and bind, and drag down to the mart, the youthful and vig- orous of every family. And then you may see these savages, like evening wolves, roaming, and watching for their prey ; and hear the piercing cries of the miserable victims, and witness their desperate but ineffectual, struggles ; and in the light of their blazing cabins, mark the despair and agony depicted in their countenances, as they cast their last look on the spot of their nativity, and on the mangled forms of their kindred who have fallen in their defence ; or who, for the crime of tender infancy or feeble old age, have been wantonly plunged into the consuming flames.
