To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Sir, there is nothing more abhorrent to the mind of most Northern men than the idea that one man was created by his Maker to be a mere drudge, a serf, to another; that it was the intention of the Almighty, in creating a particular class of men, that they should forego their own happiness, their own right to cultivate their faculties, and that they were born foi no better purpose than to minister to the happiness of some other man, regardless of their own. To a man thus born, his being would be ...a curse. He might scoff at the Creator who had raised him up, not to re- gard his own happiness, not to regard the cul- ture of his own mind, but as a being whose life, whose limbs, and all whose faculties, were dedi- cated by the Almighty to minister alone to the promotion of some other man's happiness. Sir, that is not the teaching of the Declaration of In- dependence. It was never so intended, nor are the framers of that instrument liable to be taunt- ed with hypocrisy because they did not carry out practically, to their full extent, the ideas of that great and Godlike instrument.
