1832: Chain of Elections Game

[Maxwell]

Daniel Webster Schedule: January 1832



"From my earliest youth I have regarded slavery as a great moral and political evil. - I think it unjust, repugnant to the natural, equality of mankind, founded only in superior power; a standing and permanent conquest by the stronger over the weaker. - All pretence of defending it on the ground of different races, I have ever condemned, and have even said that if the black race is weaker, that is a reason against and not for its subjection and oppression. - In a religious point of view, I have ever regarded and spoken of it, not as subject to any express denunciation, either in the Old Testament or the New, but as opposed to the whole spirit of the gospel, and to the teachings of Jesus Christ. - The religion of Christ is a religion of kindness, justice, and brotherly love: - but slavery is not kindly affectionate; it does not seek another's and not its own; it does not let the oppressed go free; it is but a continual act of oppression." - Daniel Webster on Slavery

I think Bmotley got banned for 6 months, so I could withdraw as Daniel Webster and re-start as Andrew Jackson.
