To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I do not deny but, in some circum- stances, it is the duty of the slave to serve ; but it is a duty he owes himself, and not his master. The master may, and often does, intlict upon him all the severity of punishment the numan body is capable of bearing ; and the law supports him in it ; if he does but spare his life and his limbs, he dare not complain ; none can hear and relieve him ;• he has no redress under heaven. When wo duly consider all these things, it must appear unjust to the last deg...ree to force a fellow-creature, who has never forfeited his free- dom, into this wretched situation ; and confine him and his posterity in this bottomless gulph of wretchedness for ever. Where is the sympathy, the tender feelings of humanity ? Where is the heart that does not melt at this scene of wo ? Or that is not fired with indignation to see such in- justice and cruelty countenanced by civilized nations, and supported by the sanction of the law? ~. ^" If slavery is not consistent with justice, it must be inconsistent with good policy.
