Read the two excerpts representing contrasting views of slavery. On this subject, I do not wish to think, or speak, or write, with moderation. No! no! Tell a man whose house is on fire, to give a moderate alarm . . . but urge me not to use moderation in a cause like the present.
–William Lloyd Garrison,
The Liberator, 1831

However sound the great body of the non-slaveholding States are at present, in the course of a few years they will be succeeded by those who will have been taught to hate the people and institutions of nearly one-half of this Union, with a hatred more deadly than one hostile nation ever entertained towards another.
–John C. Calhoun,
February 6, 1837
