Synopsis
Excerpt from Our Unity as a Nation: From the "New Englander" For January, 1862
Meanwhile, the Free States, by the same obedience to a natural law, had moved in exactly the opposite direction. From indifference they had passed to a comprehension of the moral evil of slavery, and this, of course, engendered a tacit, if not avowed dislike and condemnation of it. However, to a large party in these States, this spirit was obnoxious. They would have stopped the progressive movement of mind, and rolled back the popular sentiment. Better to leave these things alone, was the cry. True, it might have been better, according to this way of reasoning, if there had never been a Luther, or a French revolution, or an uprising of our own people against Oppression; but it was not in the God-ordained progress of humanity that these things should fail to be at their proper time.
Then came the aggressive and exacting spirit of the' slave power, growing in strength and audacity every day; not con tent to be and remain what it was, but, following the bent of despotism everywhere, desirous of engrossing all power, and becoming the ruling element of the country.
