Are the times achangin'? I wonder & do what I can!
THE ONSET OF ABOLITIONISM
Late in the 18th Century, after nearly 200 years of the slave trade, there appeared the first signs of a crusade to stamp it out. England was the first to react violently snd by 1833 slavery was abolished throughout the Empire with the major exception of India.
Thereafter England led a universal movement against it.
In the U.S.A., where slavery was recognized in the Constitution, reaction was slower but grew rapidly after 1820 with its center in New England. Slavery had long been outlawed in Massachusetts, and Boston, then the intellectual capital of the nation, was full of brilliant agitators like William Lloyd Garrison. An antoaboli-tionist lynch mob in Boston seized Garrison, editor of the bitterly antislavery Liberator. The mob was composed of upper-class Bostonians, gentlemen of wealth and standing who were not necessarily pro-slavery but were furious at Garrison because, in attacking slavery, he attacked the institution of private
property. They set upon him in 1835, as he was attending a meeting of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery
Society, got a rope around his body, roughed him up and dragged him through the street of Boston.
He was saved by a few cool, muscular men and lived to carry on his crusade until 1879.
Opmerkelijke feitjes al met al: maar nu eerst naar de supermarkt om boodschappen te doen.
De zon schijnt, de wind waait, de tuin is elke dag weer groener & bloeiender: zoiets roept herinneringen op
waarover misschien straks of later wat meer? Er is 'n tijd voor alles onder de zon & ik doe m'n best binnen
bepaalde grenzen: als 'n oud opgewonden klokje dat doortikt tot het ermee moet ophouden.
