California can and does furnish the best bad things that are obtainable in America.

Hinton Rowan Helper / Author

Slavery tolerates no freedom of the press, no freedom of speech, no freedom of opinion.

Hinton Rowan Helper / Author

Slavery is the parent of ignorance, and ignorance begets a whole brood of follies and vices; and every one of these is inevitably hostile to literary culture.

Hinton Rowan Helper / Author

I have seen purer liqors, better segars, finer tobacco, truer guns and pistols, larger dirks and bowie knives, and prettier women courtesans here in San Francisco than in any other place I have ever visited.

Hinton Rowan Helper / Author

Slavery destroys, or vitiates, or pollutes, whatever it touches. No interest of society escapes the influence of its clinging curse. It makes Southern religion a stench in the nostrils of Christendom; it makes Southern politics a libel upon all the principles of republicanism; it makes Southern literature a travesty upon the honorable profession of letters.
