 Slavery quotes 
Suggest Revision: No defender of slavery, I concede that it has its benevolent aspects in lifting the Negro from savagery and helping prepare him for that eventual freedom which is surely written in the Book of Fate
 
By Labor the North has subdued Nature, changed a parsimonious soil to fertility, built dwellings for almost her whole population, raised the school-house, established the Church, encircled the globe with her ships, and made her books and her papers to be as blades of grass and as leave of the Summer for number. But in the South, labor, a badge of shame, is the father of misery. The slave labors, but with no cheerit is not the road to respectability, it will honor him with no citizens trust, it brings no bread to his family, no grain to his garner, no leisure in after-days, no books or papers to his children. It opens no school-house door, builds no church, rears for him no factory, lays no keel, fills no bank, earns no acres. With sweat and toil and ignorance he consumes his life, to pour the earnings into channels from which he does no drink, into hands that never honor him. But perpetually rob and often torment.
 Henry Ward Beecher quotes

Slavery is the state or condition of being a slave. It is the condition when a person is subjected entirely to the wishes, whims and will of some other person. A slave is a person who is under complete subjugation of another person. The holding of slaves is called slavery. In the words of Alexander Herzen, “All religions have based morality on obedience, that is to say, on voluntary slavery. That is why they have always been more pernicious than any political organization. For the latter makes use of violence, the former - of the corruption of the will.” Slaves do not have any freedom of thought, action or will. Slavery is a condition when one is completely under the control of another person and has to submit himself totally to that person. Slavery means no independence or freedom of movement, speech and expression. Plato had once remarked, “Dictatorship naturally arises out of democracy, and the most aggravated form of tyranny and slavery out of the most extreme liberty.”
