Quote 5: "The fatal poison of irresponsible power was already in her hands, and soon commenced its infernal work. That cheerful eye, under the influence of slavery, soon became red with rage; that voice, made all of sweet accord, changed to one of harsh and horrid discord; and that angelic face gave place to that of a  demon." (Excerpt 3)
Quote 6: "Mr. Severe was rightly named: he was a cruel man. I have seen him whip a woman, causing the blood to run half an hour at the time; and this, too, in the midst of her crying children, pleading for their mother’s release. He seemed to take pleasure in manifesting his fiendish barbarity."

Quote 1: "On the one hand, there stood slavery, a stern reality, glaring frightfully upon us,—its robes already crimsoned with the blood of millions, and even now feasting itself greedily upon our own flesh. On the other hand, away back in the dim distance, under the flickering light of the north star, behind some craggy hill or snow-covered mountain, stood a doubtful freedom—half frozen—
beckoning us to come and share its hospitality." (Excerpt 5)
Quote 2:"At least, such is my experience. I have often
sung to drown my sorrow, but seldom to express my happiness. Crying for joy, and singing for joy, were alike uncommon to me while in the jaws of slavery. The singing of a man cast away upon a desolate island might be as appropriately" (Excerpt 2)]]> 2019-02-25 13:40:39 UTC https://padlet.com/hsamara/q2yg83m16q4x/wish/334831041 hsamara https://padlet.com/hsamara/q2yg83m16q4x/wish/334831203
