More from Charles Sumner
Confessing the Fatherhood of God, and the consequent Brotherhood of Man, we find a divine standard of unquestionable accuracy.
As the Brotherhood of Man is practically recognized, it becomes impossible to restrict the feeling within any exclusive circle of country, and to set up an unchristian distinction of honor between civil war and international war.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
The subterfuges of the politician cannot escape it.
