Changing Memories: The Liberator Quote

Transcript

Transcript

As we drew near to Boston, there stood Bunker Hill monument, towering up towards the heavens, as if in silent, bitter mockery of the millions of slaves guarded by the professed lovers of Liberty, who reared its lofty column. I remember how a slave stood beneath its very shadow, while it was being dedicated to Freedom; and it seemed that chains should hang around its base, gags and thumb-screws ornament its sides, and iron collars crown its top, as fit emblems of the liberty of this blessed land.

G.B. Stebbins, The Liberator, 1846.
