Excerpt from A Summer on the Borders of the Caribbean Sea

The free colored American, of whatever Shade, Sees that his destiny is linked with slavery. Where his face is a crime he can not hepe for justice. In the country which enslaves his race he can never be an acknowledged man. That it is his native country does not help him. The author of this hook is an American as much as James Buchanan. He is more so: for the father of Mr. Buchanan was born in Ireland, and the father of Mr. Harris was born in North Carolina. But the one becomes president, the other is officially declared to have no rights which white men are bound to respect.
