To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Here it is. I put it also in ' a philosophic form. There are three points which I make.
First, Thei-e are no natural, unalienable, and equal rights, wherewith men are endowed by their Creator ; no natiu-al, unalienable, and equal right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Second, There is a great diversity of powers, and in virtue thereof the strong man may rule and oppress, enslave and ruin the weak, for his interest and against theirs.
Third, There is no natural law of God to forbi...d the strong to oppress the weak, and enslave and ruin the weak.
That is the Idea of Slavery. It has never got a national ^ expression in America ; it has never been laid down as a Principle in any act of the American people, nor in any single State, so far as I know. All profess the opposite ; but it is involved in the measures of both State and Nation. This Idea is founded in the selfishness of man ; it is atheistic. '^ The idea must lead to a corresponding government ; that will 30 be unjiist in its substance, — for it will depend not on natural right, but on personal force ; not on the Constitution of the Universe, but on the compact of men.
