ELIAS B. CALDWELL

David Walker was a Black Abolitionist who also argued to improve the lot of Negro slaves by educating them and allowing them to participate in Christian worship. Caldwell warned him that since it was unlikely to end slavery, educating the slaves might make them more miserable as they would learn of other possibilities under which most men lived.
