From “no compromise with the evil of slavery”
william lloyd garrison (1854)

the abolitionism which i advocate is as absolute as the law of god, and as unyielding as his throne. it admits of no compromise. every slave is a stolen man; every slaveholder is a man-stealer. by no precedent, no example, no law, no compact, no purchase, no bequest, no inheritance, no combination of circumstances, is slave holding right or justifiable. while a slave remains in his fetters, the land must have no rest. whatever sanctions his doom must be pronounced accursed.

based on this excerpt from william lloyd garrison's speech titled, “no compromise with the evil of slavery,” which word would he most likely use to describe a person who owns slaves?

a)thief
b)honest
c)hard-working
d)businessman
