There is not only no free state which would now establish it, but there is no slave state, which, if it had had the free alternative as we now have, would have founded slavery. ↗

My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt. ↗

A young man is stirred and stimulated by the consciousness of how much depends upon his own exertions: a young girl is oppressed by it. ↗
