"Honor, justice, and humanity, forbid us tamely
to surrender that freedom which we received from our gallant ancestors, and
which our innocent posterity have a right to receive from us. We cannot endure
the infamy and guilt of resigning succeeding generations to that wretchedness
which inevitably awaits them if we basely entail hereditary bondage on
them."
--Thomas
Jefferson (1775)
