Additional Details

John Quincy Adams is not only remembered as the 6th president but as an ardent abolitionist and defender of the Amistad Captives. Here he apologizes for not being able to speak at a meeting celebrating the anniversary of Emancipation in the West Indies, but takes the opportunity to say that until slavery is eradicated from the face of the earth, Liberty, and justice are not complete.
