Americans are so enamored of equality that they would rather be equal in slavery than unequal in freedom.

Had it not been for slavery the death penalty would have likely been abolished in America. Slavery became a haven for the death penalty.

To some extent I liken slavery to death.

Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it Almighty God! I know not what course others may take but as for me give me liberty or give me death!

I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.
