“There is yet a greater crime than slavery—for a crime it is of a deeper
and more unpardonable dye—for a white man and a Christian to invite a
negro to achieve his freedom by a carnival of crime...... I say it is
the very highest iniquity in the chief of a Christian Government to
excite the negro, with the ferocity of the tiger, to the
perpetration of cruelties that cannot be numbered, and crimes which I
dare not even name, with no possible termination to that desperate and
deadly strife of races but in the extermination of the weaker and the
vanquished.”
—Mr. Horsman’s speech in the House of Commons in the debate on the seizure of Alexandra.
