More from Horace Mann
The wickedest white man, in a company of slaves, bears a charmed life.
Is there not one spot where we can stand side by side, as friends, sympathize with each other, and act together in harmony?
The general system of slaveholding farmers and planters, in all times and places, has been, and now is, and ever will be, to cultivate much land, badly, for present gain,--in short, to kill the goose that lays the golden egg.
But the impious hand of man divorces these twin capacities, wherever it denies knowledge.
