More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
I love and venerate the religion of Christ, because Christ came into the world to deliver humanity from slavery, for which God has not created it.
Let no one misunderstand my words—let no one confound Popery with Christianity—the Religion of Liberty with the avaricious and sanguinary Politics of Slavery.
To arms all!—all!—and the oppressors, the supremely powerful, shall be turned into dust.
This stupendous page of our history must be followed by one more glorious still; and the slave will finally show to the free brother a sharpened iron which belonged to the links of his chains.
