More from Charles Sumner
It is a cause which, though long kept in check throughout our country, as also in Europe, now confronts the people and their rulers, demanding to be heard.
Controlled by such a code, employing such representatives, sustained by such agencies, animated by such Furies, and producing such fruits of tears and bitterness, it must be open to question.
This will be the FREEDOM POWER, whose single object will be to resist the SLAVE POWER.
Let us at all hazards prevent the extension of Slavery and the increase of the Slave Power.
