William Lloyd Garrison
Quotes from the Narrative Life of Frederick Douglas
His book on his own experience “Knowledge makes a man unfit to be a slave.” “Without a struggle, there can be no progress.” “The white man's happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.” “To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the rights of the hearer as well as those of the speaker.” |
4.12, 4.13 African Americans in the Early Republic and Society of the South in Early Republic
Antebellum America-Prior to War America
Slavery as a Positive Good??? Necessary Evil?? Civilize Africans??
“Compare his condition with the tenants of the poor houses in the more civilized portions of Europe–look at the sick, and the old and infirm slave, on one hand, in the midst of his family and friends, under the kind superintending care of his master and mistress, and compare it with the forlorn and wretched condition of the pauper in the poorhouse. . . I turn to the political; and here I fearlessly assert that the existing relation between the two races in the South, against which these blind fanatics are waging war, forms the most solid and durable foundation on which to rear free and stable political institutions. . . The condition of society in the South exempts us from the disorders and dangers resulting from this conflict; and which explains why it is that the political condition of the slaveholding States has been so much more stable and quiet than that of the North. . .”
John C. Calhoun, “Slavery as a Positive Good,” 1837
