Quotes by Ira Berlin (?)

“History is not about the past; it is about arguments we have about the past. And because it is about arguments that we have, it is about us.”
― Ira Berlin

“Enslaved men and women hated their confinement and sought every opportunity to break the shackles that bound them, but opposition to their own enslavement—or even the enslavement of others—did not automatically make them abolitionists. For much of their history—indeed, for much of human history—the notion of a world purged of slavery was simply unimaginable. Abolition, like any other social movement, was rooted in history and confined in time and space. Prior to the American Revolution and its ideology of universal equality, there were few movements to contemplate, let alone to join.”
― Ira Berlin, The Long Emancipation: The Demise of Slavery in the United States
