Lengthy essay by a Pennsylvania medical doctor addressed to "the white race and the free Negro of the United States," calling for the eventual emancipation of all African Americans, though explicitly stating that abolition asks "of the master sacrifices that never will be--never can be made." Instead, Dewees proposes the full exodus of African Americans back to the African continent over the span of a hundred years, claiming that this is the most "philanthropic" solution to slavery in the United States.
