Antislavery idealists might prefer to live.... : Quote by Joseph J. Ellis

“ Antislavery idealists might prefer to live in some better world, which like all such places was too good to be true. The American nation in 1790, however, was a real world, laden with legacies like slavery, and therefore too true to be good. ”
