More from Horace Mann
Did the law ever contemplate so cruel and revengeful a proceeding?
Slavery is an unspeakable wrong to the conscience.
The north comes to the south, cuts their timber, carries it home, manufactures it, and then brings it back, wrought into a hundred different forms, to be sold to those who would see it rot before their eyes.
The institution of slavery is against natural right.
