"Moreover, though he does not make the point explicitly, again the very fact that Douglass is ably disputing this argument on this occasion celebrating a select few's intellect and will (or moral character) — this fact constitutes a living counterexample to the narrowness of the pro-slavery definition of humans."

Rogers, answered it with a more sensible motto, namely—′No union with slave-holding.′ I would unite with anybody to do right; and with nobody to do wrong."
