- 1842年2月22日, Abraham Lincoln, 「Address Before the Springfield Washingtonian Temperance Society」, 出自 Arthur Brooks Lapsley 編, The Papers and Writings of Abraham Lincoln[1]:
- Turn now to the temperance revolution. In it we shall find a stronger bondage broken, a viler slavery manumitted, a greater tyrant deposed; in it, more of want supplied, more disease healed, more sorrow assuaged.
- 現在放眼看向禁酒革命。在這場革命中，我們將發現，更強大的束縛被打破，更卑鄙的奴隸制被解放，更強大的暴君被廢黜；在這場革命中，更多的貧困會得到滿足，更多的疾病會得到治癒，更多的悲傷會得到緩解。
- 1867, John Lord, The Old Roman World: the Grandeur and Failure of Its Civilization[2]:
- Persons taken in war were considered at the absolute control of their captors, and were therefore, de facto, slaves; and the children of a female slave followed the condition of their mother, and belonged to her master. But masters could manumit their slaves, who thus became Roman citizens, with some restrictions.
- 戰爭中的俘虜被視為完全受俘虜他們的人的控制，因此事實上是奴隸；女奴的孩子則與母親一樣，屬於主人。但主人可以釋放奴隸，這樣奴隸就成為羅馬公民，但有一些限制。
- 1985, Anthony Burgess, Kingdom of the Wicked, Arbor House Publishing:
- Ruth wept much but Sara set her beauty to a fierce grimness which, even when, as you shall hear later, she was manumitted, she never entirely lost.
