The most fatal and scandalous declaration ever made by the late Federal Government against the people of the South... is contained in those acts of Congress which denounce the African Slave Trade as piracy — a declaration at once degrading to every slaveholder, and a living rebuke to the Federal Constitution.
By the eve of the Civil War, Morgan could boast of a 'good income'... and the ownership of six slaves.
