“So long as the law considers all these human beings, with beating hearts and living affections, only as so many things belonging to the masterso long as the failure, or misfortune, or imprudence, or death of the kindest owner, may cause them any day to exchange a life of kind protection and indulgence for one of hopeless misery and toilso long it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best-regulated administration of slavery.”
