A remarkable anti-slavery speech delivered on the floor of the Virginia state legislature by Representative Charles Faulkner. The previous year Nat Turner had led the slave insurrection in Southampton County Virginia profoundly realizing the worst nightmares of southern slave owners and the incident sparked the last effort in the South to abolish slavery. Faulkner from what would later become West Virginia led the fight in alliance with Thomas Jefferson's grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph to pass a bill that would have freed all children born of slave parents after July 4 1840. Had Faulkner succeeded Virginia and other southern border states would have been unlikely candidates for secession. The bill had much support but it eventually failed 73-58 owing in part to the malapportionment of the Virginia legislature in favor of Tidewater slave owners. Faulkner's stirring speech emphasized slavery's evil for whites: "It is an evil - it is an institution which presses heavily against the best interests of the state. It banishes free white labor - it exterminates the mechanic - the artizan - the manufacturer.It converts the energy of a community into indolence - its power into imbecility - its efficiency into weakness. Sir being thus injurious have we not a right to demand its extermination Shall society suffer that the slave-holder may continue to gather his crop of human flesh" A scarce and important document of anti-slavery sentiment in the South thirty years before secession. Only two market occurrences ever recorded. unknown
