David Walker also argued the holding of African Americans in the most “abject slavery and wretchedness” violated the Golden Rule. He stated, “Our divine Lord and Master said, ‘all things whatsoever ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so unto them.’” See, David Walker, David Walker’s Appeal to the Coloured Citizens of the World, 1829, 43, accessed February 10, 2017, http://docsouth.unc.edu/nc/walker/walker.html.
