And if to the Jews you incline to go back,
No special enslavement you find of the black.
But "might is not right," as in piracy scenes,
Else why do you censure the stern Algerines?
Or what if in Congo a thousand white men
Were Slaves, wholly hopeless of freedom again,—
Would bishops and priests of the Slavery line,
Quote Bible to prove it both right and divine?
"Slavery and the Slave Trade pervaded every nation of civilized antiquity....The founder of the Jewish nation was a Slaveholder.... Greeks enslaved each other....The Slave-markets of Rome were filled with men of every complexion and every clime....It is from about the year 990 that regular accounts of the Negro Slave-trade exist."—Bancroft's United States, i. 159. Any Bible argument for Slavery must therefore except the black, if any color is to be excepted!
