In 1850sUS, antislaveryvoters, including antislavery politicians, supported racially restrictive sufferage laws & had no interest in a multiracial democracy. #CharlesSumner: Every man is entitled to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness, whether black or white.
#CharlesSumner, MASenator: A politician in the service of a party cannot be trusted. Politics are my loathing. There is so much passion & so little principle: so much devotion to party & so little to country.
