 | | Slavery is in the hands of governments, not individual consumers. | | | Slavery continues to exist because it is profitable for some and because governments and people benefit. | | | Slavery exists on a massive scale, most of it economically legitimised by western governments in order to supply us with a wide range of cheap footwear and clothing. |

| | SLAVERY by William Ellery Channing |
| | Not a few are partially reconciled to the institution the language of confidence in which its benefits are sometimes announced. | | | The best concerted schemes of policy often fail; whilst a rash and profligate administration may, by unexpected concurrences of events, seem to advance a nation's glory. | | | I may be asked, whether, in the history of nations, circumstances do not occur, in which the rigor of the principles now laid down must be relaxed; whether, in seasons of imminent peril to the state, private rights must not give way. |
