Society Quotes
-
Colonization was the idea that once slavery ended African-Americans should be encouraged - or required, in some people's view - required to leave the country.

You can never have free black and white people living together.

Consider a man riding a bicycle. Whoever he is, we can say three things about him. We know he got on the bicycle and started to move. We know that at some point he will stop and get off. Most important of all, we know that if at any point between the beginning and the end of his journey he stops moving and does not get off the bicycle he will fall off it. That is a metaphor for the journey through life of any living thing, and I think of any society of living things.
