More From Gouverneur Morris

Religion, the dominion of the human mind; property, the dominion of human needs; and government, the dominion of human conduct, represent the stronghold of man's enslavement and all the horrors it entails.

The very beginning of genesis tells us that god created man in order to give him dominion over fish and fowl and all creatures. of course, genesis was written by a man, not a horse. there is no certainty that god actually did grant man dominion over other creatures. what seems more likely, in fact, is that man invented god to sanctify the dominion that he usurped for himself over the cow and the horse.

I repeat the declaration made a year ago, that 'while i remain in my present position i shall not attempt to retract or modify the emancipation proclamation, nor shall i return to slavery any person who is free by the terms of that proclamation, or by any of the acts of congress.' if the people should, by whatever mode or means, make it an executive duty to re-enslave such persons, another, and not i, must be their instrument to perform it.
