Excerpt from The Destiny of the Races of This Continent: An Address Delivered Before the Mercantile Library Association of Boston, Massachusetts, on the 26th of January, 1859

The present epoch is a new starting point in our Government. The impulse given by the movers of the Revolution has come to a pause, and all seems tending to receive a new direction. Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, were the rights which it was the design of those who framed our. Institutions gradually to establish for all the races of our continent. T hose great men knew that the current of public senti ment ﬂowed with full volume in that channel which their toil and their patriotism had worked out, not only for the freedom of those whose cour age had conquered. It, but for those even beyond the ocean who sympa thized with the effort. But their first thought was for the races at home. Emancipation of the African slaves, that had been thrust upon our shores by the cupidity of our British oppressors and their minions here, was Speedily accomplished throughout the northern part of the Confed eracy, under the impulse which first prompted our fathers to assert their own freedom. Abolition of the slave trade, with a view to the same result ultimately in all the States, was the unanimous act of the nation; and before this was done, to preclude an inducement'for its continuance, the ordinance of 1787, excluding Slavery from all its Territories, was voted by the Confederation, before the Constitution existed to add its sanction. That other inferior race among us, the Indian, was recog nised as having rights which the white man was bound to respect; that personal liberty, of which their kindred tribes of the south had been deprived by the Spaniards; was recognised as a birthright, in which they were to be protected, as well as that quasi-ownership in the lands. They occupied, of which they could not be divested without a compen sation deemed by themselves an equivalent. The whole s00pe of the. Policy of the young Republic then embraced that grand leading idea on Which our Declaration of Independence based our individual liberties, that all men are born equal in respect to that humanity which author izes them to claim justice at the hands of every superior power, as the preservative of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, which was inherent in their nature. The Constitution, it is true, permitted that portion of the African race which had been brought under our system of colonial bondage to be retained as persons held to service but in this very phrase it rejected the adoption of the law creating Slavery, and only recognised existing circumstances growing out of the tyranny it had overthrown, that persons were held to service whose obliga tions it could not dissolve. So far from recognising the rightfulness of Slavery, the Opprobrium of the term was rejected to exclude the infer ence of its adoption as a national institution, and a clause was inserted authorizing Congress to pass that act abolishing the slave trade and likening the seizure of a man, to bring him to the level of a brute anal appropriate his labor, to that of stripping him of his goods at sea and throwing him to the sharks. The crime was stigmatized as piracy. No; slave in Africa, or in any other part of the world, can lawfully be, made a slave in America. This proves that neither the great charter of our Independence nor that of our Union ever contemplated Slavery as a national institution, or even one to be long perpetuated as local, to make slaves of the home-born race, when prohibited as to the foreign-born.

Descripci�n de la librer�a

We first started out as ?The Paperback Exchange,? a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become ?PBShop.? This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.
