More from Charles Sumner
Their existence is a disgrace to civilization; for it implies the common consent of nations to the Arbitrament of War, as regulated by these laws.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
But so long as War exists as an Institution this terrible inconsistency must appear.
