Summary
In the European colonies of America, black slavery was an institution founded solely on the abuse of power. In all aspects created by a barbarous and shortsighted politics, and maintained by violence, we shall see that it could be abolished by a stroke, a simple legislative measure when the people it dishonored felt that they could no longer violate moral laws. Precisely because of its artificial character, Negro slavery appeared more odious than any other, for it meant the exploitation of man by man. It was done without pretext and without excuse. And only in the name of the right of the strongest.
