On Slavery (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From On Slavery Although The Laws Thus Deny The Rights Of Human Na Ture To The Slave, The Passions Of Lust And Of Vengeance, Are Not To Be Controlled By These Enactments. People Are Provoked By The Disobedience Or Carelessness Of A Slave, Who Would Feel Ashamed To Be Thrown Into A Rage By The Waywardness Of A Horse. Those Who Are Convers Ant Among Slaveholders, Find Them Always A Peculiarly Irritable Race, Easily Thrown Into A Towering Passion, Or Rendered Frantic With Rage, Even Towards Their Equals In Society, And Especially Towards Mechanics And Laborers. This Is Because Their Passions Are Accustomed To Be Ex Cited Towards Their Slaves, And To Be Allowed Their Full S00Pe Of Gratification Without Restraint. Unless Human Nature Is Annihilated In Slaveholders As Well As In Slaves. About The Publisher Forgotten Books Publishes Hundreds Of Thousands Of Rare And Classic Books.
