16. The Deleted Passage
• “He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its
most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant
people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into
slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their
transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of
infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian King of Great
Britain. Determined to keep open a market where Men should be
bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every
legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable
commerce. And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact
of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in
arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has
deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he has obtruded
them: thus paying off former crimes committed again the Liberties of
one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the
lives of another.”
