The laws greatly obstruct the manumission of slaves, even where the master is willing to enfranchise them.
The whole power of the laws is exerted to keep slaves in a state of the lowest ignorance.
Send us facts--send us kind remonstrance and manly reasoning.
What more do we need to show us the bloody hands and iron heart of Slavery?
