Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Speech of the Hon. Charles Sumner, of Massachusetts, on the Barbarism of Slavery: Delivered in the U. S. Senate, June 4th, 1860; Also, the Republican Platform
The barbarism of slavery appears first, in the character of slavery, and secondly, in the char acter of slave masters. Under the first head we shall naturally consider (1) the law of slant very and its origin, and (2) the practical results of slavery, as shown in a comparison between the free States and the slave States. Under the second head we shall naturally consider (1) slave masters as shown in the law of slavery; (2) slave masters in their relation with slaves, here glancing at their three brutal instruments; and (3) slave masters in their relations with each other, with society, and with government; and (4) slave masters in their unconsciousness. The way will then be prepared for the con sideration of the assumption of constitutional law.
