Immediate emancipation [and additional notes] by Amos A. Phelps
Description:
This item contains a 15-page manuscript written by Amos A. Phelps on the subject of immediate emancipation.

After surveying some relevant cases throughout the history of the US, Mexico, South America, and the English colonies, he makes some further arguments for immediate emancipation.
