Description
First page of African Repository reprint of Benjamin Silliman's speech, "Some of the Causes of National Anxiety." Silliman expressed that “Visionary attempts to elevate, suddenly, the free colored population,” with a college education were “impracticable” or possibly “injurious.” Instead, Silliman stressed the need for “religious, moral and instructed men… acquaint[ed] with business and with useful arts and trades” to support colonization.
