I cannot but regard oppression in every form - and most
of all, that which turns a man into a thing - with
indignation and abhorrence. Not to cherish these feelings
would be recreancy to principle. They who desire me to be
dumb on the subject of Slavery, unless I will open my
mouth in its defence, ask me to give the lie to my
professions, to degrade my manhood, and to stain my
soul.
- William Lloyd Garrison, 18545
