More from Horace Mann
Behind these forty-one indictments for stealing stand drawn up, in battle array, against this same prisoner, seventy-four other indictments for transporting the very slaves whom he is charged to have stolen.
But the impious hand of man divorces these twin capacities, wherever it denies knowledge.
They cannot do otherwise with laborers who work by compulsion, for the benefit only of their masters, and whose sole interest in the matter is to do as little and to consume as much as possible.
It is only in the land of slaves that they are blotted out and annihilated.
