<blockquote>In the West Indies in particular, but also in North and South America, slavery was the engine that drove the mercantile empires of Europe. The institution was as old as time - finding explicit sanction in the Bible, and in the glory days of Greece and Rome - and had flourished, in its modern form, for two hundred years. It appeared, in the eighteenth century, as universal and immutable as human nature. [5]</blockquote>

The modern [[idea]] of [[sex]] equality is [[beautiful]] and worthy of an expanding [[civilization]], but it is not found in [[nature]]. When might is right, man lords it over woman; when more [[justice]], [[peace]], and [[fairness]] prevail, she gradually emerges from slavery and obscurity.
