If you want to be fully convinced of the abominations of slavery, go on a southern plantation, and call yourself a negro trader. Then there will be no concealment; and you will see and hear things that will seem to you impossible among human beings with immortal souls.

No pen can give an adequate description of the all-pervading corruption produced by slavery.

The degradation, the wrongs, the vices, that grow out of slavery, are more than I can describe. They are greater than you would willingly believe.

Death is better than slavery.

Cruelty is contagious in uncivilized communities.

There are wrongs which even the grave does not bury.

The beautiful spring came; and when Nature resumes her loveliness, the human soul is apt to revive also.
