Abolition Quote by Solomon Northrup
““There's a sin, a fearful sin, resting on this nation, that will not go unpunished forever. There will be a reckoning yet. . . there's a day coming that will burn as an oven. It may be sooner or it may be later, but it's a coming as sure as the Lord is just.””

![“You have not been mistaken in supposing my views and feeling to be in favor of the abolition of war.
