Although slavery is evil and bad, no matter
what, this was a very specific matter that
Spiegel was talking about. When he talked
about "horros of slavery", he was talking about
the soldiers who were enslaved to the American
Army. Spiegel believed that he was doing his
duty to his country, family and God as a citizen,
but he also believed that it such a thing should
always be his choice, not the government's
choice at all.
