to enable him to catch a man whom he calls his
property; but not a soldier is offered to save a
citizen of massachusetts from being kidnapped! is
this what all these soldiers, all this training, have
been for these seventy-nine years past [since the
beginning of the american revolution]? have
they been trained merely to rob mexico and carry
back fugitive slaves to their masters? …
