William Lloyd Garrison: “My crime is, that I will not go with the multitude to do evil.”

With the North, the preservation of the Union is placed above all other things--above honour, justice, freedom, integrity of soul, the Decalogue and the Golden Rule--the Infinite God himself.

I do not know how to espouse freedom and slavery together.

Let me define my positions, and at the same time challenge any one to show wherein they are untenable.

No insult or outrage, no deed of impiety or blood, on the part of the South, can startle us into resistance, or inspire us with self-respect.
