We have to make it clear to the multi-nationals that slavery is too high a price to pay for cheap goods
If you're creating a slave situation, you would almost never bring women. And if we look at Slavery for example, we look at the Greeks and the Romans, right? It was always men. They never brought any women. Because women carry the seeds of the revolution, right? And if you have the men by themselves, then you can do what the French did with the Blackfeet, which is breed them out.
When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is a duty, life is slavery.
No slavery can be abolished without a double emancipation, and the master will benefit by freedom more than the freed-man.
To be baptized means to make the passage with the people of Israel and with Jesus from slavery to freedom and from death to new life. It is a commitment to a life in and through Jesus.
There is no slavery but ignorance.
Every member of the society spies on the rest, and it is his duty to inform against them. All are slaves and equal in their slavery. . . The great thing about it is equality. . . Slaves are bound to be equal.
If the hammer and the shuttle could move themselves, slavery would be unnecessary.
What shall be said, then, of those who insist upon ignoring the question of slavery as not involved in this deadly feud, and maintain that the only issue is, the support of the government and the preservation of the Union?

As long as the enslavement of a single human being is sanctioned in the land, the curse of God will rest upon it.
In most places, when people hear about or see something that is a symbol or representation or evidence of slavery or the slave trade or lynching, the instinct is to cover it up, to get rid of it, to destroy it.
Slavery is also as ancient as war, and war as human nature.
Slavery is the next thing to hell.
The teachings of Elijah Muhammad on how black people have been brainwashed. How they've been taught to love white and hate black, how we've been robbed of our names in slavery. We were robbed of our culture, we were robbed of our true history. So it left us a walking dead man.
What has ever threatened our liberty and prosperity save and except this institution of Slavery?
Slaveholders deployed so-called scientific racism to justify racial slavery.
Some are "industrious," and appear to love labor for its own sake, or perhaps because it keeps them out of worse mischief; to suchI have at present nothing to say. Those who would not know what to do with more leisure than they now enjoy, I might advise to work twice as hard as they do,--work till they pay for themselves, and get their free papers.
Republicans have reached out so much to black Republicans because it's part of our tradition. Blacks have been in this nation longer than most other Americans with the possible exception of white Anglo-Saxon Protestant. The first blacks in Congress and the first black Governor were all Republicans. It was Republicans who fought the Civil War over slavery and who introduced the Civil Rights legislation over the next hundred years.
Slavery doesn't have any positives.
The Israelites' slavery in Egypt is the equivalent of our slavery to sin. God sent Moses to deliver them from bondage, and He sent Jesus Christ to set us free.
There is not a respectable system of civilization known to history whose foundations were not laid in the institution of domestic slavery.
