Slavery is illegal everywhere, but it exists all over the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Slavery is something that is all too often swept under the carpet.
Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.
Slavery, if it can be legalized at all, can be legalized only by positive legislation. Natural law gives it no aid. Custom imparts to it no legal sanction.
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.
I believe that modern slavery is the most outrageous assault on the rights of an individual. It is something that touches me deeply because I grew up in rural Brazil and could see first-hand how poverty forced people to work in harsh, exploitative conditions.
Slavery is a weed that grows on every soil.
You cannot afford a world with slavery, which literally takes someone and turns them into a machine.
In this enlightened age, there are few I believe, but what will acknowledge, that slavery as an institution is a moral & political evil in any country. It is useless to expatiate on its disadvantages.
God knows I detest slavery but it is an existing evil, and we must endure it and give it such protection as is guaranteed by the Constitution.
There is no slavery but ignorance.
