But these two topics are so interwoven together, that it will not be easy to keep them exactly separate. ... When I have charged a black with unfairness and dishonesty, he has answered, if able to clear himself, with an air of disdain, " What! do you think I am a white man ?" Such is the nature, such are the concomitants, of the slave trade... Will not sound policy suggest the necessity of some expedient here?"-John Newton, Thoughts upon the African Slave Trade
