Horton said, in the 72 years between the election of George Washington and the election of Abraham Lincoln, 50 of those years a slaveholder as president of the United States, and, for that whole period of time, there was never a person elected to a second term who was not a slaveholder.
霍顿称： 自从乔治·华盛顿到亚伯拉罕·林肯当选总统的72年间，當中有50年是奴隶主擔任美国总统，整个期间里，競逐连任的总统無一不是奴隶主。
