their political and social disadvantages.

free government, with all the blessings which it brings in its train.

"3d. To spread civilization, sound morals, and true religion through
the continent of Africa.

"4. To arrest and destroy the slave-trade.

[26] It is to be regretted that William Still, the author of the U. G.
R. R., failed to give any account of its origin, organization,
workings, or the number of persons helped to freedom. It is an
interesting narrative of many cases, but is shorn of that minuteness
of detail so indispensable to authentic historical memorials.

[27] Judge Stroud, William Goodell, Wendell Phillips, William Jay, and
hundreds of other white men contributed to the anti-slavery literature
of the period.
