To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But Luther brought all the wandering and separate rays of protest to a focus, and kindled the contest for religious freedom. So, when Garrison flung full in the face of slavery the de fiance of immediate and complete abolition, slavery, in stinctively foreseeing its doom, sprang to its feet, and joined, with the heroism of despair, in the death-grapple with liberty, from which, after a generation, liberty arose unbruised and victorious. It is hard for the sur vivors of a generation, to which ab...olitionist was a word suggesting the most odious fanaticism, a furious decla mation at once nonsensical and dangerous, a grotesque and sanctimonious playing with fire in a powder-maga- 286 WENDELL PHILLIPS zine. To believe that the names of the two representa tive abolitionists will be written with a sunbeam, as Phillips says of Toussaint, high over many an honored name. But history, looking before and after, readjusts contemporary judgments of men and events. In all the essential qualities of heroic action, Luther nailing his challenge to the Church, upon the Church s own door, when the Church was supreme in Europe Will iam Tell, in the romantic legend, serenely scorning to bow to the cap of Gessler, when Gessler s troops held all the market-place, are not nobler figures than Garrison and Phillips, in the hour of the complete possession of the country by the power of slavery, demanding im mediate and unconditional emancipation.
