Experience Proves That Those Are Oftenest Abused

The Constitutional Framers Were Peace Men; But They Preferred Revolution To Peaceful Submission To Bondage. They Were Quiet Men; But They Did Not Shrink From Agitating Against Oppression. They Showed Forbearance; But That They Knew Its Limits. They Believed In Order; But Not In The Order Of Tyranny. With Them, Nothing Was "settled" That Was Not Right. With Them, Justice, Liberty And Humanity Were "final;" Not Slavery And Oppression.

Be Not Discouraged. There Is A Future For You. . . . The Resistance Encountered Now Predicates Hope. . .

Power Concedes Nothing Without A Demand. It Never Did And It Never Will.

Slaves Are Generally Expected To Sing As Well As To Work.

I Have Observed This In My Experience Of Slavery, - That Whenever My Condition Was Improved, Instead Of Its Increasing My Contentment, It Only Increased My Desire To Be Free, And Set Me To Thinking Of Plans To Gain My Freedom. I Have Found That, To Make A Contented Slave, It Is Necessary To Make A Thoughtless One. It Is Necessary To Darken His Moral And Mental Vision, And, As Far As Possible, To Annihilate The Power Of Reason. He Must Be Able To Detect No Inconsistencies In Slavery; He Must Be Made To Feel That Slavery Is Right; And He Can Be Brought To That Only When He Ceased To Be A Man.
