I "laid close" and waited to escape from that part of the country, so that I might not compromise Mr. Dansley. He was already under surveillance by slave-owners, and was in danger of being driven from the country; in fact, threats of lynching had been made against him. The last day I was there I lay hid in some cotton-pens, close to the house, when two men came on the hunt of me.
Stephen asked. "What!" exclaimed Mr. Lincoln, "didn't he tell you he was?" "He said nothing at all, sir, except to tell me to travel until I found you." "I call the Judge a friend of mine," said Mr. Lincoln. "He may not claim me because I do not believe in putting all slave-owners to the sword." "I do not think that Judge Whipple is precisely an Abolitionist, sir." "What! And how do you feel, Mr.
The system, too, had a bad effect upon the free inhabitants. While the convicts were no better than slaves, in the masters were engendered some of the autocratic habits of slave-owners.

They will admit almost as readily that their grandfather reluctantly parted with land to the end that railways might be built, or that their fathers ran the blockade and supplied the South and the slave-owners, hazardously and romantically, with munitions of war.
The annexation of Hawaii was the first imperialistic act after the annexation of Texas, more than fifty years before. It was the first imperialistic act since the capitalists of the North had succeeded the slave-owners of the South as the masters of American public life. The Spanish-American War The real test of the imperial intentions of the United States came with the Spanish-American War.
They are like the slave-owners of 1860; they blindly and imperiously insist on their own destruction; they strike at the very hands that would save them."

It is breadth of comprehension; and this implies gentleness and love.
