“A mountain is not a mountain if there is nothing below.”

“When freedom in the making looked so much like slavery, others also retraced their steps and turned back towards slavery.”
― Thavolia Glymph, The Women's Fight: The Civil War's Battles for Home, Freedom, and Nation

“Whether they called home a plantation in Cuba or a mansion in New York or New England, elite Northern women had longer and deeper personal ties to slavery and profited longer from the system than scholars have generally granted. They were beneficiaries of "cozy" relationships that spanned the globe and enabled the enjoyment of the rewards of slave ownership from a distance.”
― Thavolia Glymph, The Women's Fight: The Civil War's Battles for Home, Freedom, and Nation
