"Were not the disadvantages of slavery too obvious……" — Alexander Hamilton

Were not the disadvantages of slavery too obvious to stand in need… - Alexander Hamilton
"Were not the disadvantages of slavery too obvious to stand in need of it, I might enumerate and describe the tedious train of calamities inseparable from it. I might show that it is fatal to religion and morality; that it tends to debase the mind, and corrupt its noblest springs of action. I might show that it relaxes the sinews of industry, clips the wings of commerce, and introduces misery and indigence in every shape."
