More From Gerrit Smith
- "It is not to be disguised, that a war has broken out between the North and the South. – Political and commercial men are industriously striving to restore peace: but the peace, which they would effect, is superficial, false, and temporary."
- "True, permanent peace can never be restored, until slavery, the occasion of the war, has ceased."
- "I welcomed the organization of the Anti-slavery Society."
