18 Jan 2014: "[Fitzroy] defended and praised slavery, which I abominated" Darwin autobiography
Darwin is recounting Fitzroy's personality. A great schism is being formed in European and American societies: those that defend slavery and the abolitionists. Interesting that Darwin gets blamed for so many offenses against humanity yet there's nothing in natural selection, nothing in evolution, and nothing in a materialistic world view that can be used to defend slavery, which is sanctioned in the Bible.

Snowing this morning and very pretty out. Temperatures have been in the 30's yet the increasing day length is inspiring cardinals, song sparrows, and chickadees to sing. Today is laundry-palooza. Catching up on chores.
