Note: Sumner was a young
state legislator from Massachusetts who later served 24 years in the US
Senate. According to an early Texas census, there were 103,000 whites and 38,000 slaves in the state
in 1847

human slavery within her dominions, embracing the province of Texas
At this period, citizens of the United States had already begun to (move) into Texas The idea was

between Louisiana and Texas) with their slaves, in defiance of the Mexican ordinance of freedom.
Restless spirits, discontented at home...joined them The work of rebellion sped. Our newspapers

Certainly (Mexico)... might justly charge
our citizens with disgraceful robbery, while, in seeking extension of slavery, (our own citizens
denied) the great truths of American freedom
