Transatlantic Slave Trade

Famous quotes containing the words slave and/or trade:

    Give the slave the least elevation of religious sentiment, and he is not slave: you are the slave: he not only in his humility feels his superiority, feels that much deplored condition of his to be a fading trifle, but he makes you feel it too. He is the master.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    My own experience has been that the tools I need for my trade are paper, tobacco, food, and a little whisky.
    William Faulkner (1897–1962)
