Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Maryland Colonization Journal, Vol. 2: December, 1843
Thus, whatever may have been the ostensible or avowed object in the establishment of our squadron on the African coast, or whatever may be its consequences or results, it cannot be denied that it was done rather as a matter of compromise than principle, rather to allow England to sup press the slave trade than with a view of doing much ourselves. In proof of this, it is only sufficient to say, that the state of things which now requires a squadron there, has existed for the past twenty years.
