So far from thinking slavery a sin, or that I had no right to own the slaves inherited from my father, I thought no one could venture to dispute that right, any more than he could my right to his land or his stock.
The hopes of the world depend, under God, upon the success of your cause.
I shall never forget my feelings when the subject was first hit upon in the Evangelist.
What more do we need to show us the bloody hands and iron heart of Slavery?
