1
Slavery variable
and undefined

2
No reason for emancipating
without
indemnification
even where
actual slavery subsisted.

3
Much less where
slavery had been
as an end for ages

If the se powers
slavery in question
subsisted in full
force, if that
slavery had been
of the most inlimited
and abject
kind nature there could
have been no reason
in abolishing
them upon those
terms without indemnification.

Whatever the
condition was of
those who had been found
under subjected to it, it
was such as they
had been bred
under such as they
had been used to,
such as they had
been accustomed to
expected to. To the eyes of
To us free men it was a
bad state to live in
but to them it must
have at least been
much less bad, as
experience had never
shown them any
other.

To have been
made free at
any price which
they had it in their
power to pay would
have been a great
any and unexpected
acquisition.

To have been
forced to see them
thus emancipated
though with a full
equivalent for any
pecuniary loss
sustained by such
emancipation enfranchisement
would to many of their masters
been no inconsiderate
mortification.

To reduce men
to beggary for taking
those as they found
them, and not anticipating
the intelligence
and the
virtue of ages yet
to come!
