n.支持奴隸制度

His fiery editorials labeled proslavery factions as "traitorous scamps "and "vagabond repudiators of obligations most sacred, "and he almost singlehandedly roused the North against slavery. 他怒斥了支持奴隸制度的宗派的所作所為，將其稱之為“無恥叛變的流氓無賴"和“最神圣的義務(wù)職責(zé)的粗野踐踏者”，并且，他幾乎是一個人單槍匹馬地說動了整個北方來反對奴隸制度。

proslavery advocates left to join the Democrats and antislavery adherents joined the Republicans. 擁護奴隸制的黨員留下來參加了民主黨，而反對奴隸制的則參加了共和黨。
