Description
Kennedy was affiliated with the American Colonization Society, which was “formed in 1817 to send free African-Americans to Africa as an alternative to emancipation in the United States.” This sermon was apparently preached on its behalf; as he says near the end of the discourse, “In whatever light therefore we contemplate this Society either in relation to Africa, to the People of color already Free, or in relation to Domestic slavery, it merits our prayers and our patronage” (p. 10).
