"He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it's [sic]
most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people
who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another
hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither.
This piratical warfare, the opprobium of INFIDEL powers, is the warfare of
the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market
where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for
suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this
execrable commerce."
--Thomas Jefferson, rough draft of The Declaration of Independence, 1776
