Gentlemen: I greet you here on the bank of the James River in the year of our lord, one thousand seven hundred and twelve. First , I shall thank you, the gentlemen of the of the colony of Virginia, for bringing me here. I am here to help you solve some of your problems with slaves. Your invitation reached me in my modest plantation in the West Indies where I have experimented with some of the newest and still the oldest method for control of slaves. ancient Rome would envy us if my program is implemented. As our boat sailed south on the James River, named for our illustrious KING JAMES, whose BIBLE we CHERISH, I saw enough to know that our problem is not unique. While Rome used cords or wood as crosses for standing human bodies along the old highways in great numbers, you are here using the tree and the rope on occasion. I caught the whiff of a dead slave hanging from a tree a couple of miles back. You are losing valuable stock by hangings, you are having uprisings, slaves are running away, your crops are sometimes left in the fields too long for maximum profit, you suffer occasional fires, your animals are killed, Gentleman,...You know what your problems are; I do not need to elaborate. I am not here to enumerate your problems, I am here to introduce you to a method of solving them. In my bag, I have a fool proof method for controlling your slaves. I guarantee everyone of you that if installed it will control the slaves for at least three hundred years. My method is simple, any member of your family or any OVERSEER can use it. I have outlined a number of differences among the slaves, and I take these differences and make them bigger. I use FEAR, DISTRUST, and ENVY for control purposes. These methods have worked on my modest plantation in the West Indies, and it will work throughout the SOUTH. Take this simple little list of differences and think about them. On the top of my list is "AGE" but it is only there because it starts with an "A"; The second is"COLOR" or shade; there is INTELLIGENCE, SIZE, SEX, SIZE OF PLANTATION, ATTITUDEof owner, whether the slaves live in the valley, on a hill, east or west, north, south, have fine or coarse hair, or is tall or short. Now that you have a list of differences, I shall give you an outline of action- but before that, I shall assure you that DISTRUST IS STRONGER THAN TRUST, AND ENVY IS STRONGER THAN ADULATION, RESPECT OR ADMIRATION. The black slave, after receiving this indoctrination, shall carry on and will become self-refueling and self-generating for hundreds of years, maybe thousands. Don't forget you must pitch the old black VS. the young black males, and the young black male against the old black male. You must use the dark skinned slaves VS. the light skin slaves. You must use the female VS the male, and the male VS, the female. You must always have your servants and OVERSEERS distrust all blacks, but it is necessary that your slaves trust and depend on us. Gentlemen, these kits are your keys to control, use them. Never miss an opportunity. My plan is guaranteed, and the good thing about this plan is that if used intensely for one year the slave will remain perpetually distrustful.
no
Both Frederick Douglas and William L. Garrison made substantial progress in having the US rethink their positions on slavery. Douglas and Garrison used their newspapers to inform Americans about the immorality of slavery. The also spoke in public concerning their ideas about the abolition of slavery in the US long before the US Civil War.
because lincoln made the emanicpation proclamation to free slaves but still even without slavery blacks were not equal to whites at the time
The irony is that the Emancipation Proclamation only proclaimed an emancipation. It did not make it happen. It made slavery illegal but it did not fully emancipate non white citizens, their bondage just changed form.
august 28,1963 he made his famous speech
William Lloyd Garrison delivered his famous speech, "No Compromise with the Evil of Slavery," at the founding meeting of the American Anti-Slavery Society in Philadelphia on December 5, 1833. In this speech, he called for immediate emancipation of enslaved people and denounced any gradual approach to abolition. Garrison's passionate advocacy for abolition made a significant impact on the movement for social justice in America.

The state of Massachusetts offered a reward for the arrest of William Lloyd Garrison. Garrison was a prominent abolitionist and the editor of the anti-slavery newspaper "The Liberator." His activism and outspoken views against slavery made him a controversial figure, leading to such actions against him by pro-slavery advocates.
resistance and accommodation made for the slavery
No, Martin Luther King Jr. was not alive during slavery. He made a speech about the segregation. Like how black people had to use crappy supplies and stand on buses when all the seats weren't full.
It was a speech that he gave about how he felt that people should vote yes to the Compromise of 1850 because even though it promoted slavery in the new territories, slavery wouldn't be able to be upheld there due to the environment that is not suitable for plantation farming. (He was abolitionist)
