My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or destroy slavery.
It is forbidden you to trade in slaves, be they men or women... this hath been prohibited in His Holy Tablet. Thus, by His mercy, hath the commandment been recorded by the Pen of justice.
It is not for him who is himself a servant to buy another of God's servants, and this hath been prohibited in His Holy Tablet... Let no man exalt himself above another; all are but bondslaves before the Lord, and all exemplify the truth that there is none other God but Him.
Said I'm three fifths, forgot the other two fifths was God
But since the white man, your "friend," took your language away from you during slavery, the only language you know is his language. You know, your friend's language. So you call for the same God he calls for. When he's putting a rope around your neck, you call for God and he calls for God... And you wonder why the one you call on never answers you.
