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

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

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.

The secrets of slavery are concealed like those of the Inquisition.

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.

The state of slavery is in its own nature bad.

Slavery is illegal everywhere, but it exists all over the world.

Slavery was not a bad day on the job. It was not your boss yelling at you. It was not hard work for little pay. This was a full system of human subjugation.

Slavery is malignantly aristocratic.

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.
