Quote 2
"So we speak to the representatives of a Christian country, to the friends of justice, to the champions of the oppressed. It is on your kindness, on your humanity, that we rest all our hopes. Help prevent the misery, devastation and death which would surely result were this false treaty to be enforced."
Quote 3
"In another country, and under other circumstances, there is a better prospect. Removal, then, is the only practical remedy. Our people may finally rise from their very ashes, to become prosperous and happy, and a credit to our race. I would say to my countrymen, fly from your life here that is destroying our nation."
Quote 4

To save him from utter annihilation, the Government kindly offers him a new home, and proposes to pay the whole expense of his removal and settlement.”
Quote 1
"Where is the law that has stripped these early and first lords of the soil? Sir, no record of such a measure can be found. I must then ask, do the obligations of justice change with the color of the skin?"
