Excerpt from Slavery and the Rebellion, One and Inseparable: Speech of Hon. Charles Sumner, Before the New York Young Men's Republican Union, at Cooper Institute, New York, on the Afternoon of November 5, 1864

I begin with the early patron of Virginia, Lord Delaware, who after visiting the colony described the people there in a letter dated at Jamestown, July 7, 1610, as men of distempered bodies and infected minds, whom no examples daily before their eyes, either of goodness or punishment, can deter from their habitual impieties or terrify from a shameful death. [strachey' 3 History. Preface, p. 32] Language cannot be stronger.
