The Slave Trade Was Free Trade: A Tale of Money acrylic on paper, 2000, 22 x 30 inches
... morality and religion ... both allow that if men can make money
by stealing men and women, and working them up into sugar, rice and
tobacco, they may innocently continue the practice, and he who condemns
it
is an unworthy citizen, and a disturber of the church. Money is the measure
of morality, and the success or failure of slavery, as a money making
system, determines with many whether the thing is virtuous, or villainous,
and whether it should be maintained or abolished. |
... Let me give you a word of the philosophy of reform. . . . If
there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor
freedom and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing
up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning. They want
the
ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. |
