More from Horace Mann
A southern slave stands higher, politically, than a northern laborer, if the latter must vote as his employer dictates.
Why, fellow-citizens, the ballot is worse than useless, if it be not FREE!
Men of Massachusetts! moral and religious men! lovers of freedom and of your country, were you prepared for this?
