I have sworn eternal opposition to slavery, and by the blessing of God, I will never go back.

I am amazed at the facility with which some men follow in the wake of slavery.

I was involved in the anti-war movement.

The Anti-Slavery public have generously responded to our appeal, and sent the means to enable us to fit them out well, to pay their passages, supply them with many useful articles and give the Missionaries money to sustain themselves for a while.

I am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. I can not remember when I did not so think and feel.

This and many others only confirmed me in the opinion, planted when I saw the sale of Martha Ann, and growing steadily thereafter, that slavery was an accursed business, and that the sooner my people were relieved of it, the better.

Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man's nature - opposition to it is his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism; and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.

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

I need say no more, to prove that slavery is entirely unlike the servitude in the patriarchal families.
