More from Horace Mann
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.
Is there not one spot where we can stand side by side, as friends, sympathize with each other, and act together in harmony?
The wickedest white man, in a company of slaves, bears a charmed life.
But the impious hand of man divorces these twin capacities, wherever it denies knowledge.
