Base is the slave that pays.

Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.

Slaves cannot breathe in England; if their lungs Receive our air, that moment they are free; They touch our country, and their shackles fall.

I would not have a slave to till my ground, To carry me, to fan me while I sleep, And tremble when I wake, for all the wealth That sinews bought and sold have ever earn'd.

Resolved, That the compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell; involving both parties in atrocious criminality, and should be immediately annulled. - William Lloyd Garrison,

Fling out the Anti-Slavery flag;Forever let it beThe emblem to a holy cause,The banner of the free.And never from its guardian heightLet it by man be driven,But let it float forever there,Beneath the smiles of heaven.
