Note 27 — PART II.
Reading edition
Except the Negroes in the Southern Colonies, who probably will now either soon become extinct, or have their condition changed into that of Freemen.—It is not the fault of the Colonies that they have among them so many of these unhappy people. They have made laws to prohibit the importation of them; but these laws have always had a negative put upon them here, because of their tendency to hurt our Negro trade.
