Question

(b) Read the following passage carefully :

I pity from the bottom of my heart any nation or body of people that is so unfortunate

as to get entangled in the net of slavery. I have long since ceased to cherish any spirit

of bitterness against the Southern white people on account of the enslavement of my

race. No one section of our country was wholly responsible for its introduction, and,

besides, it was recognized and protected for years by the General Government.

Having once got its tentacles fastened on to the economic and social life of the

Republic, it was no easy matter for the country to relieve itself of the institution.

Then, when we rid ourselves of prejudice, or racial feeling, and look facts in the face,

we must acknowledge that, notwithstanding the cruelty and moral wrong of slavery,

the ten million Negroes inhabiting this country, who themselves or whose ancestors

went through the school of American slavery, are in a stronger and more hopeful

condition, materially, intellectually, morally, and religiously, than is true of an equal

number of black people in any other portion of the globe. In this country, who

themselves or whose forefathers went through the school of slavery, are constantly

returning to Africa as missionaries to enlighten those who remained in the fatherland.

This I say, not to justify slavery-on the other hand, I condemn it as an institution, as

we all know that in America it was established for selfish and financial reasons, and

not from a missionary motive but to call attention to a fact, and to show how

Providence so often uses men and institutions to accomplish a purpose. 1. On the
