Thomas Smallwood
The expatriate Smallwood bitterly describes the treachery he encountered
from supposed friends and foes as an agent in the anti-slavery movement.
He is prophetic in his views of America’s slaveholding future: “…the
long suspended blow against that republic and the final emancipation of
its victims are close at hand, and will be attended with a terrible and
bloody breaking up of their system.”
