Read this excerpt from Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal I shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts,
which I hope will not be liable to the least objection
I have been assured by a very knowing American of my
acquaintance in London, that a young healthy child well
nursed is at least a year old a most delicious, nourishing,
and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or
boiled, and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a
fricassee or a ragout
grant this food will be somewhat dear, and therefore very
proper for landlords, who, as they have already devoured
most of the parents, seem to have the best title to the
children

"woe unto the world because of offenses, for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh" if we shall suppose that american slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of god, must needs come, but which, having continued through his appointed time, he now wills to remove, and that he gives to both north and south this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living god always ascribe to him? fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. yet, if god wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the lord are true and righteous altogether." reset next
