The state of the free colored
population of the United States, is one of extreme and remediless
degredation, of gross irreligion, of revolting profligacy, and, of
course, deplorable wretchedness. Who can doubt … the blacks among us
are peculiarly addicted to habits of low vice and shameless profligacy?
They are found in vast numbers in the haunts of riot and dissipation and
intemperance where they squander in sin the scanty earnings of their
toil, contract habits of grosser iniquity and are prepared for acts of
daring outrage and of enormous guilt. … Squalid poverty, loathesome
and painful disease, fell and torturing passions, and diversified and
pitiable forms of misery are to be found (there).John Hough, professor of languages
at Middlebury College, preached this in a sermon to colonizationsts in
Montpelier on Oct. 18, 1826
We’ve always known……Don’t be misled by false history. The colonization effort far outnumbered the abolitionists.
Just wait til we inform them….that we can no longer afford to feed and house all these useless eaters. Better have plenty of ammo.
