The women of the South can overthrow this horrible system of oppression and cruelty, licentiousness and wrong.
The fact is, we need no excuse for not going to the South, so long as the North is as deeply involved in the guilt of slavery as she is, and as blind to her duty.
The whole power of the laws is exerted to keep slaves in a state of the lowest ignorance.
What more do we need to show us the bloody hands and iron heart of Slavery?
