What Have Anti-Slavery Societies Done? In answer to this taunting question at the late Colonization debate in Portland, the venerable Samuel Hussey, of the Society of Friends, boldly declared that Abolition Societies had caused all the States, which are not now slaveholding States, to abolish slavery. He was connected with abolition societies, many years ago, also Moses Brown and many others of the Society of Friends. He thought such societies had been the procuring cause of all the legislative enactments for the abolition of slavery.
