This is the complete text of Charles Sumner’s famous and controversial speech, 'The Barbarism of Slavery,' delivered in the United States Senate on June 4, 1860. Sumner, a leading abolitionist and Senator from Massachusetts, argued passionately against the expansion of slavery and for the admission of Kansas as a free state.
