... The institution that tolerates such wrong and humanity as I have witnessed, it is a cruel and unjust and barbarous one. Men may write fictions portraying lowly life as it is or as it is not--may expatiate with owlish gravity upon the bliss of ignorance-- discourse flippantly from armchairs of the pleasures of slave life; but let them toil with him in the field--sleep with him in the cabin-- feed with him on husks; let them behold him scourged, hunted, trampled on, and they will come back with another story in their mouths. ~12 Years a Slave
