Picture of Slavery in the United States of America (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Picture of Slavery in the United States of America Where is the charter found to sanctify Despotic, base, unqualified control, O'er strength and will, by man enthroned o'er man? In Revelation's code you find it not, Nor in Creation's multifarious laws. The will of Heaven, when unrevealed by Christ, Or by the sacred organs of his word, Is sought and found in the primeval light, Which Nature sheds through her expanded spheres. But when with Gospel-day this light combines, The fool who doubts, who asks for clearer proof Must hood-wink'd be indeed, and darkness love. That such resistless evidence obtains, To evince Demoniac Slavery's turpitude, With all the powers of brightest Truth appears, To the impartial mind that views each source, Whence the full streams of testimony flow. Each text of Sacred Writ enjoining love, Affection, justice, mercy, meekness, peace, And piety, establishes this truth, That Slavery contravenes the law of God!
