My name is Eunice Davis. I was born a free woman, but my freedom brings me no peace while my brothers and sisters remain in chains. I speak today not for applause, but because I am called by duty, by justice, and by God. As a member of the Boston Female Anti-Slavery Society, I raise my voice not as a partisan but as a Christian woman who cannot remain silent in the face of oppression. I speak because the truth must be louder than cruelty.
Slavery is not just a political issue—it is a sin. It violates every moral and spiritual law. It is no less evil than murder or theft. It is the violent robbery of a man’s labor, his freedom, his family, and his soul. In a nation that calls itself enlightened and free, this evil is not only tolerated—it is defended. America claims to be the land of liberty, yet it sells human beings as though they were beasts of burden. It sings of justice while practicing cruelty.
I have heard the excuses of those who defend this system, claiming that enslaved people are cared for, or that they are somehow better off in bondage. These lies are a disgrace. They insult human reason and decency. No man is made better by chains. No woman is protected by the lash. No child is rescued by being torn from their mother’s arms.
I know the power of truth and righteousness. And because of that, I will not stop. I will speak. I will write. I will stand up—in every meeting, every hall, every street—until this evil ends. Slavery must be abolished—completely, immediately, and without compromise.
We cannot pretend to be united with those who uphold slavery. There can be no peace with injustice, no compromise with cruelty, and no rest until the last yoke is broken. I would rather suffer for what is right than be silent when faced with such sin. Let those who hear me understand: the cause of the enslaved is the cause of this nation’s soul. Until America acts upon that truth, we remain a nation under judgment.
