Answer:

It means that slavery is a tyrannical system.

Explanation:

This sentence was written by Jean-Jacques Rousseau and was aimed at explaining slavery as something tyrannical and suffocating, which does not allow the responsibility and the rights of each man over himself, because it makes some men have too much power over others, while other men have no alternative but to completely obey the powerful, losing their freedom, autonomy and responsibility over themselves and their own actions.

"a bunch of thugs organized from prisons and jails and financed, I am sure, by some Arab group." They both wanted the same thing which was freedom but one wanted to integrate with white people, and the other one didn't.
