Had I anything to do with the negro, I would confine them by strict law to their own species, and put them on a national equalization.
Joseph Smith, History of the Church 5:217-218.
Shall I tell you the law of God in regard to the African race? If the white man who belongs to the chosen seed mixes his blood with the seed of Cain, the penalty, under the law of God, is death on the spot. This will always be so.
Brigham Young, March 8, 1863, Journal of Discourses 10:110.
The descendants of Ham, besides a black skin which has ever been a curse that has followed an apostate of the holy priesthood, as well as a black heart, have been servants to both Shem and Jepheth, and the abolitionists are trying to make void the curse of God, but it will require more power than man possesses to counteract the decrees of eternal wisdom.
John Taylor, Times and Seasons, April 1, 1845, 6:857.
