  • Navigation ActsA series of acts passed between 1650 and 1673 that established three rules of colonial trade: first, trade must be carried out only on English ships; second, all goods imported into the colonies had to pass through ports in England; and third, specific goods, such as tobacco, could be exported only to England

  • In the year 1833 the British Parliament passed an act eman- cipating the slaves in the British West India
  • In 1848 the revolutionary Government of France with a stroke of the pen freed all the slaves in the French West Indies: no compen- sation was granted to the owners, and the act took effect immediately.
  • lands, with compensation ($100,000,000) to the owners; the act was only to take effect in 1838.

  • It would, however, be rash hence to infer, that immediate and unconditional emancipation works better than the gradual and conditioned abolition of slavery.
  • In studying these precedents it must be re- membered that the slaves in our Southern States are at least ten times as numerous as the slaves in either the British or the French colonies.
  • t is pretty well understood that President Lincoln agrees with Senator Doolittle in advo- cating colonization of the blacks
  • Those who have read “Sewell's Or- deal of Free Labor in the British West Indies,” will understand this prejudice. In Jamaica and Barbados the mulattoes are steadily gaining pow- er and influence, and the end can not be mis- taken. The white race must eventually go to the wall. To avoid this result, Mr. Lincoln, Mr. Doolittle, Mr. Blair, and those who agree with them, propose to colonize the negroes of our Southern States—to send them to Hayti, or Cen- tral America, or somewhere else.
  • To be effectual this remedy must be thorough. The entire four millions must be exported.

  • The Monroe Doctrine was expressed during President Monroe's seventh annual message to Congress, December 2, 1823:
  • to the minister of the United States at St. Petersburg to arrange by amicable negotiation the respective rights and interests of the two nations on the northwest coast of this continent.

  • that the American continents, by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintain, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European powers. . .
  • declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety
  • we could not view any interposition for the purpose of oppressing them, or controlling in any other manner their destiny, by any European power in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition toward the United States
  • Our policy in regard to Europe
  • is, not to interfere in the internal concerns of any of its powers;
  • It is impossible that the allied powers should extend their political system to any portion of either continent without endangering our peace and happiness; nor can anyone believe that our southern brethren, if left to themselves, would adopt it of their own accord
