Answer:

In chapter 11 of Harriet Beecher Stowe's novel, "Uncle Tom's Cabin", George Harris meets a man named Mr. Wilson. When Mr. Wilson says "Why, to see you, as it were, setting yourself in opposition to the laws of your country." George answers by saying "_My_ country!" said George, with a strong and bitter emphasis; "what country have I, but the grave,--and I wish to God that I was  laid there!" George says he has no country because he does not feel like his country respects him or anyone that is black. He says "_you_ have a country; but what country have _I_, or any one like me, born of slave mothers? What laws are there for us? We don't make them,--we don't consent to them,--we have nothing to do with them; all they do for us is to crush us, and keep us down. Haven't I heard your Fourth-of-July speeches? Don't you tell us all, once a year, that governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed? Can't a fellow _think_, that hears such things?" Later in the book, He runs away and, reunited with his wife and son among the anti-slavery Quakers, he makes it to Canada. And at the end of the novel, He chooses to take his family to the new African colony of Liberia, where he can use his intellectual gifts to help a large group of former slaves develop their own nation.
