Sobre IBD

Count Adam Gurowski (10 September 1805, in Russocice near Kalisz, Poland - 4 May 1866, in Washington, D. C.) was a Polish-born author who emigrated to the United States in 1849. He studied under Hegel at Berlin University and obtained a degree from Heidelberg University. Returning to Warsaw in 1825, he became identified with those opposed to Russian influence, and was in consequence several times imprisoned. He was active in organizing the November Uprising of 1830, in which he afterward took part. From 1861 to 1863, he was translator in the State Department in Washington D. C., being acquainted with eight languages. In 1862, he published the first volume of his three-volume Diary.

History positively demonstrates that slavery is not one of t...
