Published on the eve of the American Revolution, this volume of essays contains John Adams' earliest thoughts on the American republic.

Early American views on Negro slavery : from the letters and papers of the founders of the Republic by
Matthew T Mellon(
Book
)
24 editions published between 1934 and 1971 in English and held by 922 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Introduction: Mr. Mellon's illuminating presentation of the views of some of the founding fathers on slavery and the Negro exposes the raw nerve of American democratic society. If the central theme of the American Revolution was freedom and equality, the impact of that epochal struggle upon the black man was at best peripheral. The Declaration of Independence had dedicated the Revolution to the proposition that "all men are created equal." There were some who wondered whether that proposition would be applied to the ending of slavery, the greatest of all human inequalities

American statesman John Adams (1735-1826) was a key player in the early days of the American Revolution, and the second President of the United States (1797-1801).

Edited by Adams' grandson, the letters were largely left in their original form, in order to preserve the vitality and character of Adams' style.
