Frederick Law Olmsted Quotes

"This is just what I have thought when I have seen slaves at work-they seem to go through the motions of labor without putting strength into them. They keep their powers in reserve for their own use at night, perhaps."
-Frederick Law Olmsted

"With regard to the moral and religious condition of the slaves, I cannot, either from what I observe, or from what is told me, consider it in any way gratifying."
-Frederick Law Olmsted
