Famous quotes containing the words proposed and/or abolition:
“On the 31st of August, 1846, I left Concord in Massachusetts for Bangor and the backwoods of Maine,...

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I am gradually drifting to the opinion that this Rebellion can only be crushed finally by either the execution of all the traitors or the abolition of slavery. Crushed, I mean, so as to remove all danger of its breaking out again in the future.”
