Wrote a letter read at CCB's funeral: Whittier wrote: “He was one of the ablest and most self-sacrificing of the number, now sadly depleted, who compelled a reluctant people to see the sin and danger of slavery. As a debater, I have rarely seen his equal. He seemed in his best moments to combine the impetuous eloquence of Henry with the severe logic of Calhoun.” - William Lloyd Garrison, “In Memoriam,” manuscript. June 20, 1878. Boston Public Library Anti-Slavery Collection.
