Russell Shorto Quote
No, he answered. If Stanton figured he was teaching the slave a lesson, Venture knew that by staying locked up he was depriving Stanton of his labor. He would stay in chains. Well then, I will send you to the West Indies or banish you, Stanton replied, for I am resolved not to keep you. Conditions in a Caribbean plantation meant a virtual death sentence. Venture was ready for this. I crossed the waters to come here, he shot back, and I am willing to cross them to return.
