Slavery, protection, and monopoly find defenders, not only in those who profit by them, but in those who suffer by them.
Frederic Bastiat
Image
Slavery is founded in the selfishness of man's nature - opposition to it is his love of justice. These principles are an eternal antagonism and when brought into collision so fiercely, as slavery extension brings them, shocks and throes and convulsions must ceaselessly follow.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Slavery was not born of racism rather, racism was the consequence of slavery.
Eric Williams
Image
Slavery is a condition imposed upon individuals or races not sufficiently able to protect or defend themselves, and so long as a race or people expose themselves to the danger of being weak, no one can tell when they will be reduced to slavery.
Marcus Garvey

Image
Slavery is illegal everywhere, but it exists all over the world.

Slavery is wrong. If Slavery is right, all words, acts, laws, and Constitutions against it, are themselves wrong, and should be silenced, and swept away.
Abraham Lincoln
Image
Slavery is an abomination and must be loudly proclaimed as such, but I own that I nor any other man has any immediate solution to the problem.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Slavery is so intolerable a condition that the slave can hardly escape deluding himself into thinking that he is choosing to obey his master's commands when, in fact, he is obliged to. Most slaves of habit suffer from this delusion and so do some writers, enslaved by an all too personal style.
W. H. Auden
Image
Slavery to monarchs and ministers, which the world will be long freeing itself from, and whose deadly grasp stops the progress of the human mind, is not yet abolished.
Mary Wollstonecraft
Image
Slavery is not African history. Slavery interrupted African history.
Mutabaruka
Image
Slavery has become so engrafted into the policy of the Southern States, that it cannot be eradicated without tearing up by the roots their happiness, tranquillity, and prosperity.
William Loughton Smith
Image
Slavery was a long slow process of dulling.
Octavia Butler
Image
Slavery was a web of relationships, and if people knew how thick the whole business was, they would not make fun of people like Harriet Tubman. They would understand how intelligent she was and how sharp.
James McBride
Image
Slavery was regarded by Aristotle as an ordinance of nature, and so probably was it by the slaves themselves in olden time.
Alfred Marshall
Image
Slavery tolerates no freedom of the press, no freedom of speech, no freedom of opinion.
Hinton Rowan Helper
Image
Slavery is an institution for converting men into monkeys.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
Slavery existed before the formation of this Union. It derived from the Constitution that recognition which it would not have enjoyed without the confederation. If the States had not united together, there would have been no obligation on adjoining States to regard any species of property unknown to themselves.
Jefferson Davis
Image
Slavery had very little to do with the economic success of the West. Just look at the facts and figures and how much slavery actually contributed to development.
Ibn Warraq
Image
Slavery was never abolished, it was only extended to include all the colors.
Charles Bukowski
Image
Slavery is a memory of something we cannot remember, and yet we cannot forget.
Bill T. Jones
Image
Slavery is the ultimate and greatest evil. For it is based on a denial of the dignity of the human soul.
Arthur Bryant
Image
Slavery discourages arts and manufacturing ...[and] every master of slaves is born a petty tyrant.
George Mason
Image
Slavery is a foul contagion in the human character.
John Adams
