No, we did not We Judged by oul
knowledge of human feelings and action
generally. Most any person or community
Of persons will submit to some wrong anj
considerable abuse before making dcmonstra
tons of violence. So with the people of Tho
slavcholding states. They submitted to AZ
erosion. abuse and repeated acts of treaeh
cry and evil doing till their patience was cx
hausted. The Abolitionists Of the NORTH
