Walter "Walt" WHITMAN (1819–1892)

In 1856, in his unpublished The Eighteenth Presidency,
addressing the men of the South, he wrote you are either to abolish
slavery or it will abolish you
. Whitman also subscribed to the
widespread opinion that even free African-Americans should not vote and was concerned at the increasing number of African-Americans in the legislature.
