“Notwithstanding the natural tendency of the human mind to weary of an old story, and to turn away from chronic abuses for which it sees no remedy, the anti-slavery agitation for thirty long years—from 1830 to 1860— was sustained with ever increasing intensity and power.”
From Life and Times of Frederick Douglass: (An African American Heritage Book)
