Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The White Slave: Or Memoirs of a Fugitive, a Story of Slave Life in Virginia, Etc Ye who would know what evils man can inflict upon his fellow without reluctance, hesitation, or regret; ye who would learn the limit of human endurance, and with what bitter anguish and indignant hate the heart may swell, and yet not burst, - peruse these Memoirs! Mine are no silken sorrows, nor sentimental sufferings, but that stern reality of actual woe, the story of which may, perhaps, touch even some of those, who are every day themselves the authors of misery the same that I endured. For however the practice of tyranny may have deadened every better emotion, and the prejudices of education and interest may have hardened the heart, humanity will still extort an involuntary tribute; and men will grow uneasy at hearing of those deeds, of which the doing does not cost them a moment´s inquietude. Should I accomplish no more than this - should I be able, through the triple steel with which the love of money and the lust of domination has encircled it, to reach one bosom - let the story of my wrongs summon up, in the mind of a single oppressor, the dark and dreaded images of his own misdeeds, and teach his conscience how to torture him with the picture of himself, and I shall be content. Next to the tears and the exultations of the emancipated, the remorse of tyrants is the choicest offering upon the altar of liberty! But perhaps something more may be possible, - not likely - but to be imagined - and it may be, even faintly to be hoped.
