This book, An Inquiry into the Character and Tendency of the American Colonization and American Anti-Slavery Societies, written by William Jay, 3rd edition, contains arguments against slavery.. But even so, some of the arguments are objectionable, while some would be acceptable today.
William Jay 1789-1858, was an American abolitionist and jurist, son of Governor of New York and first U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Jay. He was a proponent of antiwar theories and was for many years president of the Peace Society.
Frederick Douglass described Jay, saying he “was our wise counsellor, our fine friend, and our liberal benefactor.”
