الصفحة 29 - In one way or another we are more or less subservient to the North every day of our lives. In infancy we are swaddled in Northern muslin ; in childhood we are humored with Northern gewgaws; in youth we are instructed out of Northern books; at the age of maturity we sow our 'wild oats...

Generally speaking, the planters, who seem well aware of the advantage of not exacting too much service from their slaves, consider the intermission of one day, at the least, as a source rather of profit than of loss.
الصفحة 45 - The negro cabins were small, dilapidated and dingy ; the walls were not chinked, and there were no windows — which, indeed, would have been a superfluous luxury, for there were spaces of several inches between the logs, through which there was unobstructed vision.
الصفحة 42 - ... no command over themselves, being placed, without any control, in command of others. Hence passion without system must very often take the place of patience and method; and the lash — that prompt but terrible instrument of power, and one so dangerous in irresponsible hands — cuts all the Gordian knots of this difficulty, and, right or wrong, forces obedience by the stern agony of fear, the lowest of all motives to action. The consequence, I believe, invariably is that where service is thus,...
