Contrast with "The Census of 1790, revealed 59,557 Free Negroes and 697,624 slaves in a population of 3,929,625, the most slaves being in Virginia (292,627) and the least in New Hampshire (157). "
Brainwashing is often not neccesary when a light rinse will do. Most of us don't fret about modern slavery, yet it exists all around us and supplies us with things we take for granted like chocolate, coffee, seafood, clothing, etc.
Who has the moral umbrage to launch a modern abolitionist movement? Who is our John Brown?
To add to your reading list; "The authority of government, even as such as I am willing to submit to … is still an impure one: to bestrictly just it must have the sanction and consent of the governed. It can have no pure right over myperson or property but what I concede to it…. There will never be a really free and enlightened State,until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all itsown power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly.
