More from Horace Mann
Once a day the hatches were opened, to receive food and to disgorge the dead.
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.
Her black children have sucked her so dry, that now, for a long time past, she has not milk enough for her offspring, either black or white.
Packed and stowed like merchandise between unventilated decks, so close that the tempest without could not ruffle the pestilential air within, the voyage was begun.
