[Marxism] "The Meaning of the Fourth of July for the Negro" by Frederick Douglass

[Mark Lause]

"Slavery, throughout its entire existence in the United States is none
other than a most barbarous, unprovoked, and unjustifiable War of one
portion of its citizens upon another portion; the only conditions of
which are perpetual imprisonment, and hopeless servitude or absolute
extermination; in utter disregard and violation of those eternal and
self-evident truths set forth in our Declaration of Independence:" --
John Brown, 1858
