[The Anti-Slavery Examiner, Omnibus by American Anti-Slavery Society]@TWC D-Link bookThe Anti-Slavery Examiner, Omnibus CHAPTER III 5/29
The fear of insurrection had been removed; invasions of property, such as occurred during slavery, the firing of cane-fields, the demolition of houses, &c., were no longer apprehended.
Marriage was spreading among the apprentices, and the general morals of the whole community, high and low, white, colored, and black, were rapidly improving. At ten o'clock we took leave of Mr.Harris and his interesting friends. We retired with feelings of pride and gratification that we had been privileged to join a company which, though wearing the badge of a proscribed race, displayed in happy combination, the treasures of genuine intelligence, and the graces of accomplished manners.
We were happy to meet in that social circle a son of New England, and a graduate of one of her universities.
Mr.H.went to the West Indies a few months after the abolition of slavery.
He took with him all the prejudices common to our country, as well as a determined hostility to abolition principles and measures.
