More from Horace Mann
Slavery is an unspeakable wrong to the conscience.
The institution of slavery is against natural right.
But the impious hand of man divorces these twin capacities, wherever it denies knowledge.
He that chooses to employ a sort of labor that yields only half as much to the hand as another sort would yield, makes a choice that is not only unprofitable, but deeply injurious to his interest.
