Auto-Biography of life as a Slave in America - Twenty-Two Years A Slave, And Forty Years A Freeman - Embracing a Correspondence of Several Years, while President of Wilberforce Colony, London, Canada West by Austin Steward - The author does not think that any apology is necessary for this issue of his Life and History. He believes that American Slavery is now the great question before the American People: that it is not merely a political question, coming up before the country as the grand element in the making of a President, and then to be laid aside for four years; but that its moral bearings are of such a nature that the Patriot, the Philanthropist, and all good men agree that it is an evil of so much magnitude, that longer to permit it, is to wink at sin, and to incur the righteous judgments of God.African American writer Less
