"A historical anti-slavery note long believed to have been lost forever has been discovered in the depths of an American Baptist church archive.
Volunteer Jennifer Cromack made the extraordinary discovery while trawling through 18th and 19th century journals which had been stored in boxes for decades.
In one of these boxes, she found a five foot scroll in pristine condition. It was a handwritten declaration titled 'A Resolution and Protest Against Slavery.'
The document, signed by 116 New England ministers in Boston and adopted March 2, 1847, was long believed lost forever after historians had searched high and low at for it at Harvard and Brown universities over the years."
