Our readingWhat is a korrent?
Drawn from what Frederick Douglass said
religion Faith as a thing a society runs on, and what has been tried in its place.
I assert most unhesitatingly, that the religion of the south is a mere covering for the most horrid crimes,—a justifier of the most appalling barbarity,—a sanctifier of the most hateful frauds,—and a dark shelter under, which the darkest, foulest, grossest, and most infernal deeds of slaveholders find the strongest protection.
