“ Another negro, who had been a great man in his own country, refused to work for any white man, and being therefore punished by the overseer, he desired him to tell his master that he would be a slave to no man. ”

“ Slaves well used in Africa. If there be any of the slaves happier in the colonies than they were at home, they must be such as were formerly slaves in their own country; and if so, the African must be shewn to be more oppressive than the colonial slavery. ”

“ As the last proof in the evidence, and that an irrefragable one, how much happier the Africans are in their own country than in the colonies, may be adduced the great joy which is discovered at their funerals by their fellow-slaves, and which joy is said to proceed from the idea that the deceased are returning home. ”
