Pedigree: Henry Clarke WRIGHT

The PEDIGREE of

Henry Clarke WRIGHT

very prominent Abolitionist

Note: Henry C. Wright, initially opposed to resistance, changed his mind during John Brown's trial, saying:

That it is the right and duty of the slaves to resist their masters, and the right and duty of the people of the North to incite them to resistance, and to aid them in it....
The sin of this nation ... is to be taken away, not by Christ, but by John Brown. Christ, as represented by those who are called by his name, has proved a dead failure, as a power to free the slaves. John Brown is and will be a power far more efficient.

Born: Conn. 1797 Died: 1870 R.I.

Male.
