More from Horace Mann
Slavery is an unspeakable wrong to the conscience.
Out of universal education come genius, skill, and enterprise, and the desire of bettering one’s condition.
Yet, by denying education to the slave, you destroy not merely the right, but the power, of personal examination in regard to all that most nearly concerns the soul’s interests.
No man of common sense, who has observed this result, can doubt for a moment that the system of free labor promotes the growth and prosperity of states in a much higher degree than the system of slave labor.
