Anti-Slavery
The principles for which the Abolitionists contended were the following:
All men are created equal and are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Slavery, or more properly, the practice of slave-holding, is a crime against human nature and a sin against God.
Like all other sins, slavery should be abolished unconditionally, repented of, and abandoned. It is always safe to leave off doing wrong and never safe to continue in wrong-doing.
It is the duty of all men to bear testimony against wrong-doing, and consequently to bear testimony against slave-holding.
