Slavery and Abolition

"Slavery is gross injustice and cruelty to which slaves are constant victims."

"Negro slaves are the happiest and freest people in the world.​"

"Your celebration of freedom is a sham, your liberty an unholy license, your national greatness swelling vanity."

"Enslaved people enjoy liberty because they are oppressed neither by care nor labor."

"There is not a nation on earth guilty of practices more shocking and bloody than the United States at this hour."

"Free laborers are more enslaved than Negro slaves because they work longer and harder for less."
