John Brown wrote: “I hope the abolition society will promote our own manufactories; especially the cotton manufactory, for which great experience has accrued and is accruing. This is most certainly a laudable undertaking, and ought to be encouraged by all; but pause a moment — will it do to import the cotton? It is all raised from the labour of our own blood; the slaves do the work. I can recollect no one place at present from whence the cotton can come, but from the labour of the slaves.”
