From the foregoing, and from the fact that the negro race have, in all ages, flourished most in the hot countries of the earth, as in Africa, and the tropical islands, it is evident, therefore, that they were formed and fitted for their place and condition on the globe. If this be true, then we have made out our position, which is, that God formed and adapted every creature to the country and elements suited to their natures, so as to compete with difficulties, and to enjoy their being; wherefore, from the facts of the case agreeing with this opinion, the negro was created as he is, and has not been produced and modeled by circumstances and accidents.
The earth was made, and hung amid the air,
A fabric great and huge, yet wondrous fair,
On which was placed all things, that walk or fly.
And each adapted to its destiny.
