Payne is a religious discourse written in the early 1860s, set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and the Emancipation Proclamation. This work serves as a guidance pamphlet, specifically aimed at the newly freed African American population in Washington, D.C. The central theme revolves around the responsibilities and moral duties of the formerly enslaved individuals as they navigate their newfound freedom.  The book is structured as a sermon that emphasizes the importance of prayer, industriousness, and moral integrity for the colored inhabitants of the District. Payne implores his audience to live according to divine principles, urging them to embrace their freedom with a commitment to virtue, education, and community building. He addresses practical aspects of life, including the value of hard work, financial prudence, and the moral raising of children. Through heartfelt encouragement, Payne highlights the spiritual and ethical obligations of the community, emphasizing that true freedom extends beyond physical emancipation to the liberation from sin and moral degradation. He presents a vision of unity, hope, and diligence, urging his listeners to contribute positively to society and uplift their families and communities.
