The purport of the present volume, in contradistinction to the idea
of the Negro being designed only for a servile condition, is to
demonstrate that the Sable inhabitants of Africa are capable of
occupying a position in society very superior to that which has
been generally assigned to them. -from the Preface This
extraordinary book, first published in 1848, serves as both an
angry denunciation of the "terrible institution" of slavery in the
United States and a celebration of the survival and achievements of
Africans in America in the pre-Civil War era. A Tribute for the
Negro: .explains the "sin of slavery" .refutes notions of the
correlation of intellectual ability to skin color .explores the
history of slavery across the globe .discusses the "pernicious
influence of slavery" .mounts an impassioned defense of African
culture .offers numerous biographical accounts of slave life in
America. An important document of the North American slave
experience-and of the abolitionist movement it inspired both in the
States and abroad-this is must reading for anyone interested in
this most shameful aspect of American history. British writer
WILSON ARMISTEAD (1819�-1868) was a correspondent of Charles
Darwin. He also wrote Anthony Benezet (1859).
