Our mission is to deepen sympathy and convert it into right action; to show that the men and women of the North are slave-holders, those of the South slave-owners.

The guilt rests on the North equally with the South, therefore our work is to rouse the sleeping consciences of the North....

No one is ignorant now.

You recognize the facts which we present.

We ask you to feel as if you, yourselves, were the slaves.
