Harlow Giles Unger Quote

He believed the future of the nation was at stake, and he returned day after day to fight his war against the slaveocracy. And Quincy voters sent him back to Congress again and again. Louisa fretted about his health and safety, but she had lost all influence over him and could do nothing to restrain him. He was unstoppable—a meteor spiraling out of control in the political firmament.
