emancipation, of establishment on the coast of Africa, and the patronage

entertained by the whites, ten thousand recollections by the blacks of
the injuries they have sustained, new provocations, the real
distinctions which nature has made, and many other circumstances will
divide us into parties and produce convulsions which will probably never
end but in the extermination of the one or the other race."</font></p>
