More from Horace Mann
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.
Not the most fertile soil, not mines of silver and gold, can make a nation rich, without intelligence.
Once a day the hatches were opened, to receive food and to disgorge the dead.
The wickedest white man, in a company of slaves, bears a charmed life.
