520 $aThis item contains a 15-page manuscript written by Amos A. Phelps on the subject of immediate emancipation. Phelps defines basic terms such as slavery and immediate emancipation, and discusses how emancipation may be achieved and whether it can be achieved safely. After surveying some relevant cases throughout the history of the US, Mexico, South America, and the English colonies, he makes some further arguments for immediate emancipation. Some newspaper clippings are inserted. An accompanying 4-page leaf contains a chronology of the abolishment of slave-trade and related events from 1772 to 1836. Another leaf contains a brief financial notes related to sermons and circulation of papers.
