PREFACE.
I have many objects in presenting this book to the public.
First: I love my race regardless of the prejudice against her, theunenviable position she holds, and the things she is falsely said to beguilty of.
I demonstrate my love for her by launching this book before the public assomewhat of a defense against the prejudice of ancient, as well as modernhistorical writers and lecturers, who have misrepresented her, and tookfrom her the good deeds and honors that are justly due her.
Secondly: I realize that my race has had defenders, and has some now,men of my race and men of other races. But I am simply presenting thisbook as an humble race defender, in connection with the body of racedefenders, and if my theory in this book is accepted as one of the littlefingers of this splendid body, I will feel that I have accomplished someresults and thus portrayed the story of “The Widow’s Mite”—she gave allshe had, and I contribute likewise.
Thirdly: To appreciate my argument, the reader had best have a Bible at[Pg 4]his finger tips so as to examine my references and compare them with mystatements, which I make wholly and solely upon the authorities found inthe Bible, which in turn is the real and only authority on ancient history(again my authority is not inspired in the slightest degree with malice orhatred for the white race). My profession as a Minister of the Gospel ofJesus Christ would not permit me to defend in the name of justice,harboring malice and hatred or any ill feeling toward my white brethren. Iam acting with that meek and humble spirit and with a gigantic pride in myrace, which I hope, pleases God.

Abraham Lincoln, the flash of lightning, who, like a streak of light fromHeaven giving hope to the black people, struck the shackles from theirhands and left them lying shattered at their feet.
Dr. Booker T. Washington, who is nobly directing a never-to-be-forgottenbattle for that moral and industrial education, which Douglas and Lincolnmade it possible for them to obtain.
