Two of the ten commandments deal death to slavery. "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL," or, "Thou shalt not take from another what belongs to him." All a man's powers are God's gift to HIM. Each is a part of himself. All else that belongs to man is acquired by the use of these powers [God-granted rights].

The right to use according to will is itself ownership. The eighth commandment presupposes the right of every man to his powers [bodily and mental abilities], and their product. Slavery robs of both. Rev. Theodore D. Weld, 1837.
