Virginia Then and Now A Defiant Post on Slavery
In this September 9th Brooklyn Letter, Virginia is portrayed as historically mighty yet morally degraded by slavery. The author laments past glory faded to a “fourth” of white population and condemns masters of slaves, praising abolitionist currents and calling for liberty. The piece ends with hope that by the centennial the nation will erase property in man and declare slave freedom.
