More from Charles Sumner
It is clear that the only question of present practical interest arises from the usurpations of the Slave Power and the efforts to extend Slavery.
Again I repeat, so long as the War System prevails under the sanction of International Law, these painful incongruities will be apparent.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
