Excerpt from The Gospel of Slavery: A Primer of Freedom Stands for 'driver. His duty, I hear, Is mostly described as the slave-overseer. 0 tell me, I pray you, if any one can, If planters acknowledge the brute as a man! With whip and with pistols, the vagabond wields The law of the Master in hovels and fields, But scarcely removed, in a social degree, Above the rude gang that he governs is he, And, like the Slave Trader, his service is prized As treason is loved, and the traitor despised!

The Gospel of Slavery - A Primer of Freedom by Iron Gray - A Stands for Adam. Creation began By giving dominion of Nature to man. Men differ in color, and stature, and weight, Nor equal are all in their talent or state, But equal in rights are the great and the small In sight of the God and Creator of all. Then how comes dominion of brother by brother? Or how can the one be the lord of the other? Consider it well-for an answer I crave, That reaches the question of Master and Slave. "We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."-Decl. of Ind. It is nothing to affirm that the Negro, or Indian, or Arab, is not equal to the white man-namely, in talent and the like. No two white men are equal in all respects-but if you deny an equality of rights, specify the grounds of such denial.
