[William Lloyd Garrison by Archibald H. Grimke]@TWC D-Link bookWilliam Lloyd Garrison CHAPTER VII 19/37
As these doubts and misgivings arose within him he expressed them frankly in the _Genius_.
Lundy had been suspicious of the pro-slavery purposes or interests of the enterprise for many years.
He could not reconcile himself to the significant or, at least, singular fact of so many slaveholders being in the membership and the offices of the association. Then, in addition to this lack of confidence on the part of Lundy in the scheme, Garrison became acquainted, for the first time, with the objects of the society's philanthropy--the class of free people of color.
He found that these people were not at all well affected to the society; that they had no appreciation of its benevolent intentions in respect to themselves.
He found, on the contrary, that they were positively embittered toward it and toward its designs for their removal from the country as toward their worst enemy.
