“This tribe of black gentry work more effectually against us, than the enemy’s arms.
They are a hundred times more dangerous to our liberties, and the great cause we are engaged in.
It is much to be lamented, that each State, long ere this, has not hunted them down, as pests to society, and the greatest enemies we have to the happiness of America.
I would to God, that some one of the most atrocious in each State, was hung upon a gallows, five times as high as the one prepared by Haman.
No punishment, in my opinion, is too great for the man who can build his greatness upon his country’s ruin.”
– George Washington
