Drawn from what David Walker said
What David Walker actually said
- David Walker African-American abolitionist (1796 to 1830)
The fact is, the labor of slaves comes so cheap to the avaricious usurpers, and is (as they think) of such great utility to the country where it exists, that those who are actuated by sordid avarice only, overlook the evils, which will as sure as the Lord lives, follow after the good.
