I, therefore, leave off where I began, with hope. While drawing encouragement from “the Declaration of Independence,” the great principles it contains, and the genius of American Institutions, my spirit is also cheered by the obvious tendencies of the age."

1

To drag a man in fetters into the grand illuminated temple of liberty, and call upon him to join you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockery and sacrilegious irony.

2

Is it not astonishing that, while we are ploughing, planting, and reaping, using all kinds of mechanical tools, erecting houses, constructing bridges … and looking hopefully for life and immortality beyond the grave, we are called upon to prove that we are men!

3

What, am I to argue that it is wrong to make men brutes, to rob them of their liberty, to work them without wages, to keep them ignorant of their relations to their fellow men, … to starve them into obedience and submission to their masters?

4

To [the slave], your celebration [of the Fourth of July] is a sham; your boasted liberty, an unholy license; your national greatness, swelling

vanity; your sounds of rejoicing are empty and heartless; … your shouts of liberty and equality, hollow mockery.…

21

It's all about American hypocrisy, highlighting the stark contrast between the nation's celebration of freedom and equality on Independence Day and the harsh reality of slavery endured by African Americans.
