I love this emotive rant from Charles Dickens when, in his 1842 journey to America, he travels south where slavery is legal:- 

…..the Unanimous Declaration of the Thirteen United States of America, which solemnly declares that All Men are created Equal; and are endowed by their Creator with the Inalienable Rights of Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness…….It is the inalienable right of some of them to take the field after their Happiness, equipped with cat and cartwhip, stocks and iron collar and to shout their view halloa! (always in the praise of Liberty), to the music of clanking chains and bloody stripes.

Whether Yemen, Iraq or Virginia, much is about human dignity.
