More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
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.
Education gives liberty—education gives to the people the means and the power to secure and defend their own independence.
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.
