Wendell Phillips, delivers his Philosophy of the Anti-Slavery Movement Address, to the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society:
What is the denunciation with which we are charged? It is endeavoring, in our faltering human speech, to declare the enormity of the sin of making merchandise of men—of separating husband and wife—taking the infant from its mother, and selling the daughter to prostitution—of a professedly Christian nation denying, by statute, the Bible to every sixth man and woman of its population, and making illegal for “two or three” to meet together, except a white man be present!
