More from Horace Mann
The institution of slavery is against natural right.
Her lowland neighbors of Maryland and the Carolinas were not far behind at the seeding; nor are they far behind at the ingathering of desolation.
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.
The dearest and most precious of all human rights is the right of private judgment in matters of religion.
