James Drummond MacGregor
James Drummond MacGregor (1759–1830) was an abolitionist and Presbyterian minister from Nova Scotia, Canada.〔(Canadian Biography On Line ).〕
==Life and career==
Influenced by the Scottish Enlightenment, MacGregor published ''Letter to a Clergyman Urging him to set free a Black Girl he held in Slavery'' in Halifax, Nova Scotia (1788). According to historian Barry Cahill, this document "is the earliest and most outstanding production of white antislavery literature in Canada."〔Moody, Barry (1999). "Mediating a Scottish Enlightenment Ideal". In ''Myth, Migration and the Making of Memory''. Fernwood Press. p. 190.〕 In the essay, MacGregor writes, "But if they be members of the body of Christ, does not he account them precious as himself? Are they not one spirit with the Lord, of his flesh and his bones?"〔James MacGregor. A few remains of the rev. James MacGregor. p. 171.〕 He also purchased slaves' freedom.
He arrived in Nova Scotia at age 27 (1786) and lived the rest of his life there, dying in Pictou, Nova Scotia, at age 71.
