Excerpt from I Deportation and Colonization: An Attempted Solution of the Race Problem

The advocates of gradual emancipation realized that in order to meet the Objection to free negroes, some practical plan of pro cedure must be offered.

In 1857 Horace Greeley in the Tribune said: Itis obvious that in this great body of civilized negroes we have a most power ful and essential instrument toward extending ourselves, our ideas, our civilization, our commerce, industry, and political institutions through all the torrid zone. A correspondent in the New York Courier and Inquirer, July 23, 1857, voiced a like sentiment when he wrote.
