You got to remember that slavery's very complex. It has a lot of levels to it.

However, I am willing to hear what you can produce from Scripture in favor of any kind of slavery.

I can speak of slavery only so far as it came under my own observation - only so far as I have known and experienced it in my own person.

Slavery is something that is all too often swept under the carpet.

With regard to the moral and religious condition of the slaves, I cannot, either from what I observe, or from what is told me, consider it in any way gratifying.

There is no slavery but ignorance.

We must continue to judge of slavery by what it is, and not by what you tell us it will, or may be.

No one is more enslaved than a slave who doesn't think they're enslaved.

Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.

Slavery can only be abolished by raising the character of the people who compose the nation; and that can be done only by showing them a higher one.
