CHAPTER VIII
28/43

Any man can say that who does not see anything wrong in slavery, but no man can logically say it who does see a wrong in it; because no man can logically say he don't care whether a wrong is voted up or voted down.

He may say he don't care whether an indifferent thing is voted up or down, but he must logically have a choice between a right thing and a wrong thing.

He contends that whatever community wants slaves has a right to have them.

So they have, if it is not a wrong.

But if it is a wrong, he cannot say people have a right to do wrong.
