Letters on the American Republic, Or Common Fallacies and Monstrous Errors Refuted and Exposed (Classic Reprint)FB&C Limited, 27. jun. 2016 - 334 sider Excerpt from Letters on the American Republic, or Common Fallacies and Monstrous Errors Refuted and Exposed We have not only great charters of freedom in the documents referred to, but we have written laws. It has been truly said that no people are better than their laws. If so, in what a mean, low, and debased condition must our Slave laws - our black laws so called in the Free States - and our congressional fugitive slave law, put us as a people. Our slave laws reduce the negro to a chattel personal make every child born of a slave, the property of his master or owner so called; subject the slaves to the lash for learning to read, and the white man to fines and penalties for teaching them.
