Uncle Tom's Cabin

CHAPTER XI
17/25

Mr.Wilson, look at it! There isn't _one_ of all these things, that have broken the hearts of my mother and my sister, and my wife and myself, but your laws allow, and give every man power to do, in Kentucky, and none can say to him nay! Do you call these the laws of _my_ country?
Sir, I haven't any country, anymore than I have any father.

But I'm going to have one.

I don't want anything of _your_ country, except to be let alone,--to go peaceably out of it; and when I get to Canada, where the laws will own me and protect me, _that_ shall be my country, and its laws I will obey.

But if any man tries to stop me, let him take care, for I am desperate.

I'll fight for my liberty to the last breath I breathe.
