More from Horace Mann
Even cold, barren New England, though more than twice as thickly peopled, grew in population at a faster rate than these old slave states.
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.

It is only in the land of slaves that they are blotted out and annihilated.
