Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The True Story of the Barons of the South: Or the Rationale of the American Conflict "´A Negro has a soul, an´ please your honor,´ said the Corporal (doubtingly). "´I am not much versed, Corporal,´ quoth my Uncle Toby, ´in things of that kind; but I suppose God would not leave him without one any more than thee or me.´ "´It would be putting one sadly over the head of the other,´ quoth the Corporal. "´It would so,´ said my Uncle Toby. "´Why, then, an´ please your honor, is a black man to be used worse than a white one?´ "´I can give no reason,´ said my Uncle Toby. "´Only,´ cried the Corporal, shaking his head, ´because he has no one to stand up for him.´ "´It is that very thing, Trim,´ quoth my Uncle Toby, ´which recommends him to protection."´ - Sterne. "We must not allow negroes to be Men, lest we ourselves should be suspected of not being Christians." - Montesquieu. "The man is thought a knave or fool, Or bigot, plotting crime, Who, for the advancement of his kind, Is wiser than his time. For him the hemlock shall distil; For him the axe be bared; For him the gibbet shall be built; For him the stake prepared; Him shall the scorn and wrath of men Pursue with deadly aim; And malice, envy, spite, and lies Shall desecrate his name. But truth shall conquer at the last; For round and round we run, And ever the right comes uppermost, And ever is justice done." MacKay.
