When offense occurred, Slaughter took the trail, and seldom returned with a live prisoner. Usually he reported that he had chased ...the suspect "clean out of the county"; these suspects never reappeared in Tombstone--or anywhere else.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Those who believe in their truth--the only ones whose imprint is retained by the memory of men--leave the earth behind them strewn... with corpses. Religions number in their ledgers more murders than the bloodiest tyrannies account for, and those whom humanity has called divine far surpass the most conscientious murderers in their thirst for slaughter.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Swift blazing flag of the regiment, Eagle with crest of red and gold,... These men were born to drill and die. Point for them the virtue of slaughter, Make plain to them the excellence of killing And a field where a thousand corpses lie.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
these heroic happy dead who rushed like lions to the roaring slaughter... they did not stop to think they died instead then shall the voice of liberty be mute?
In the cold of Europe, under prudish northern fogs, except when slaughter is afoot, you only glimpse the crawling cruelty of your ...fellow men. But their rottenness rises to the surface as soon as they are tickled by the hideous fevers of the tropics.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

He would not see an officer pass without an unconscious movement of servility, he would not hear a bugle without feeling sick with hatred. If he could only express these thwarted lives, the miserable dullness of industrialized slaughter, it might have been almost worthwhile--for him; for the others, it would never be worthwhile.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
As the Americans slaughter millions of turkeys every year for the celebration of their deliverance, the Indians, who should be cel...ebrated as saviors, have long been slaughtered. There was even a time when a white man was paid a very decent price for every Indian scalp he could produce.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
Language must be raked, the secrets of slaughter-houses and infamous hole that cannot front the day, must be ransacked, to tell wh...at negro slavery has been. These men, our benefactors, as they are producers of corn and wine, of coffee, of tobacco, of cotton, of sugar, of rum and brandy; gentle and joyous themselves, and producers of comfort and luxury for the civilized world,--there seated in the finest climates of the globe, children of the sun,--I am heart-sick when I read how they came there, and how they are kept there. Their case was left out of the mind and out of the heart of their brothers.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
