The Second CONSTITUTIONAL-EMANCIPATORY-PURE’ RECONSTITUTION OF FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES AND A POSITIVE AVERMENT2 Asseveration3 (see Foot notes) OF THE AMERICAN IDEA->=1776
The reconstitution of the American Nation on the fundamental basis of Emancipation and a reassertion of those sentiments expressed by the founding fathers; constitutes a type of revolution in the social relations of mankind.
The seeds of what came to become a strong abolitionist movement were sowed by the founding fathers, particularly in the form of Thomas Jefferson(TJ), who remained an avid supporter of young abolitionists in his old age. In 1814 he sent a letter to Edward Coles a young Illinois Abolitionist and personal secretary to James Madison, where he says,”Yet the hour of emancipation is advancing…this enterprise is for the young; for those who can follow it up and bear it through to its consummation. It shall have all my prayers, and these are the only weapons of an old man”. It must also be remembered the act of putting (in the declaration of independence) an anti-slavery clause, which highlighted brilliantly, the issues and consequences associated with allowing foreign forces to be dominent in our country. The section (stricken by Georgia and South Carolina) read as follows,”He [King George] has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemispher of to incure miserable death in their transportaion Thither [to or towards that place]”. These are the seeds which, imbued in the declaration and american spirit, grew into a massive abolitionist force which helped to reassert the validity and well wishes of the principles of a nation. The abolitionist forces grew with the support of the radicals of England and working peoples, while the secessionist forces were supported quite fittingly by the british.
