Among the recent books is one from the pen of Dr Theopilus E. S. Scholes, “The British Empire and Her Alliances or Britain’s Duty to Her Colonies and Her Subject Races.” In the volume the author turns his attention to the United States, and states a fact in the following language:
“It is well known that in localities where Colored American citizens live in large communities, the outrages (against them) have at times become so intense that they have had to flee to other places where their lives and property would be comparatively safe. It is no exaggeration to say that at this very moment the life and property of a respectable Colored citizen of the American union would be safer in so-called savage Africa than in many of the states of this civilized republic.”
