The days of unrequited labor are numbered with the past. Fugitive slave laws are only remembered as relics of that barbarism which John Wesley pronounced "the sum of all villainies," and whose knowledge of its blighting effects was matured by his travels in Georgia and the Carolinas.” WholePastLawJusticePrinciplesEffectsEqualLaborSlaveRememberedBordersLakesRepublicEverlastingGeorgiaPacificCarolinaUnrequitedBarbarismSlopesMaineMassachusettsRelicsFugitiveMaturedVillainy Author:Horace Mann
