More from Charles Sumner
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
Let loyalty to one man be exchanged for Love to Man.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
It applies an arrogant and unrelenting ostracism to all who express themselves against Slavery.
