Question

o, ye nominal christians! might not an african ask you-
learned you this from your god, who says unto you, do
unto all men as you would men should do unto you? is it
not enough that we are torn from our country and
friends, to toil for your luxury and lust of gain? must
every tender feeling be likewise sacrificed to your avarice?
are the dearest friends and relations, now rendered more
dear by their separation from their kindred, still to be
parted from each other, and thus prevented from
cheering the gloom of slavery, with the small comfort of
being together, and mingling their sufferings and
sorrows? why are parents to lose their children, brothers
their sisters, or husbands their wives? surely, this is a
new refinement in cruelty, which, while it has no
advantage to atone for it, thus aggravates distress, and
adds fresh horrors even to the wretchedness of slavery.
