"What, To a Slave, isthe Fourth of July?"
by Frederick Douglass
At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincingargument, is needed. O! had I the ability, and couldreach the nation's ear, I would, to-day, pour out afiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach,withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is notlight that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentleshower, but thunder. We need the storm, thewhirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of thenation must be quickened; the conscience of thenation must be roused; the propriety of the nationmust be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must beexposed; and its crimes against God and man mustbe proclaimed and denounced.

Inaugural Address"
by Abraham Lincoln
Each looked for an easier triumph and a result less
fundamental and astounding. Both read the same
Bible and pray to the same God and each invokes
His aid against the other. It may seem strange that
any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance
in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's
faces but let us judge not that we be not judged.

"What, To a Slave, isthe Fourth of July?"
by Frederick Douglass
This Fourth July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice,I must mourn. To drag a man in fetters into the grandilluminated temple of liberty, and call upon him tojoin you in joyous anthems, were inhuman mockeryand sacrilegious irony. Do you mean, citizens, tomock me, by asking me to speak to-day? If so, thereis a parallel to your conduct. And let me warn youthat it is dangerous to copy the example of a nationwhose crimes, towering up to heaven, were throwndown by the breath of the Almighty, burying thatnation in irrevocable ruin! I can to-day take up theplaintive lament of a peeled and woe-smitten people!
