Famous quotes containing the words allegheny and/or passage:
“Wachusett hides its lingering voice
Within its rocky heart,
And Allegheny graves its tone
Throughout his lofty chart.
Monadnock, on his forehead hoar,
Doth seal the sacred trust,
Your mountains build their monument,
Though ye destroy their dust.”
—Lydia Huntley Sigourney (1791–1865)
“When the passage “All men are born free and equal,” when that passage was being written were not some of the signers legalised owners of slaves?”
