"I read your letter... and we are glad to learn that another has escaped from the land of bondage, whips, and chains...I would rather...spend every hour of this brief existence in all the bitterness that the hand of tyrants can inflict, than live in all the pomp and splendor that the unpaid toil of slaves could lavish upon man. Yours, etc. July 27th, 1860 R .B Rexford"

Slavery comes down to someone believing they have the right to force someone else to work for them. The enslaver has the right to use force to extract unpaid labor.
