This seminal work from the late 19th century presents a formidable array of arguments against the pervasive institutions of slavery, the forced removal of Black freedmen from the United States, and the continued subjugation of Blacks. Within its pages, William Lloyd Garrison's intellectual prowess is on full display, as he expertly navigates the treacherous waters of racial politics to champion the cause of racial equality with unparalleled precision and force. This masterful treatise not only provides an illuminating glimpse into the historical context of its time, but also serves as a blueprint for understanding how the collective conscience of society has evolved on matters of race.

In this book, William Lloyd Garrison presents an impartial exhibition of the doctrines, principles, and purposes of the American Colonization Society (ACS), together with the resolutions, addresses, and remonstrances of the free people of color. He argues that the ACS is a racist organization that seeks to perpetuate slavery and racial inequality in America, and calls for its abolition.

In attacking the system of slavery, I clearly foresaw all that has happened to me. I knew, at the commencement, that my motives would be impeached, my warnings ridiculed, my person persecuted, my sanity doubted, my life jeoparded: but the clank of the prisoner's chains broke upon my ear—it entered deeply into my soul—I looked up to Heaven for strength to sustain me in the perilous work of emancipation—and my resolution was taken.In opposing the American Colonization Society, I have also counted the cost, and as clearly foreseen the formidable opposition which will be arrayed against me. Many of the clergy are enlisted in its support: their influence is powerful. Men of wealth and elevated station are among its contributors: wealth and station are almost omnipotent. The press has been seduced into its support: the press is a potent engine. Moreover, the Society is artfully based upon and defended by popular prejudice: it takes advantage of wicked and preposterous opinions, and hence its success. These things grieve, they cannot deter me. 'Truth is mighty, and will prevail.' It is able to make falsehood blush, and tear from hypocrisy its mask, and annihilate prejudice, and overthrow persecution, and break every fetter.
