Pierce's determination to enforce the corrupt pro-slavery victory in Kansas provoked an strong reaction.

Notice the words Cuba and Central America on that cartoon.

Kansas was not the only expansion opportunity the Slave Power were envisioning at that time.

To think, notwithstanding the outcome of the Civil War, that same wicked American prejudice extended into our lifetimes. I saw it myself as a boy.

Happily, to a very large degree, we saw it fade away.

Sadly, un-Christian men like Obama have stirred those dying evil embers, though.

I think I’ll just check the book out of the library. Then I can read it on the elliptical trainer.

A lesson for our day in how Douglass moved from being a critic of the Constitution to become a champion of it.

No doubt.

Believe it or not, I encounter abortion abolitionists today who hold anti-Constitution views. Not many, but some.

There is nothing like the lash and sting of necessity to make a man work, and my paper furnished this motive power.

Considering the source, a powerful metaphor.
