It's A Poor Rule That Won't Work

My Great And Exceeding Joy Over These Stupendous Achievements, Especially Over The Abolition Of Slavery (which Had Been The Deepest Desire And The Great Labor Of My Life), Was Slightly Tinged With A Feeling Of Sadness.

Slaves Were Expected To Sing As Well As To Work. A Silent Slave Was Not Liked, Either By Masters Or Overseers.

This Fourth Of July Is Yours, Not Mine. You May Rejoice, I Must Mourn.

Men Are Whipped Oftenest Who Are Whipped Easiest.

The Constitution Is A Glorious Liberty Document. Read Its Preamble, Consider It Purposes. Is Slavery Among Them? Is It At The Gateway? Or Is It In The Temple? It Is Neither.
