By Bernard Barton

Book Overview

""The Bow in the Cloud or The Negro's Memorial"" is a collection of original writings in both prose and verse that seeks to illustrate the evils of slavery. Written by Bernard Barton, the book is a powerful testament to the human cost of slavery and the need for its abolition. The title of the book is taken from the biblical story of Noah and the flood, where God places a rainbow in the sky as a symbol of his promise to never again destroy the earth with a flood. The book is a plea for a similar promise to be made regarding slavery, which the author sees as a form of destruction of human life and dignity. The writings in the book are personal and emotional, drawing on the experiences of enslaved individuals and their families, as well as the broader social and political context of the time. The book is an important historical document, providing a window into the attitudes and experiences of those who lived through the horrors of slavery, and a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice and equality.And Commemorative Of Its Abolition In The British Colonies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
