Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Appeal From the Southern States to the Northern, Eastern and Western States of the United States and to the Civilized World, and the Southern States; Their Wonderful Resources and Their Peculiar Advantages Fortunately, the latter and wiser conclusion prevailed. The necessity of the occasion required - yea, imperatively demanded - the boldest and most persistent action; that action brought proportional confidence and relief. "Agricultural Reconstruction" And Commercial Independence. The experience and self-reliance thus acquired, are already affording a foretaste of that great millenium of "Agricultural Reconstruction," and coloring up the faint outlines of a "Commercial Independence," which for true splendor and substantial worth, will, erelong, stand unrivaled in the past history of the world; and whose fame will be as enduring as the everlasting hills and valleys of the "Sunny South." Wealth And Liberality Of Southern Planters Before The War. Previous to the war, wealth sprang like magic from the ground, at the gentlest and most careless touch of the Southern planter, and this wealth which he commanded at the beck of his wand, was lavished with a liberality and generosity equaled only by the generous soil and climate yielding such munificent rewards to capital and labor. The Poverty And Embarassments After The War. At the close of the war, but little - aye, literally nothing, of their former wealth remained, except their lands, and these an absolute burden, deprived as they were of the requisite labor and means for their cultivation; the negro having been by the stronger arm of the North emancipated from slavery, and converted into a "freedman" of utter demoralization, inefficiency and unreliability as a laborer, and no immediate opportunity or early prospect of supplying this deficiency, together with that complete devastation of the planting districts, and the destruction by the invading army of the Southern planters´ entire working and available capital, as well as the basis and source of his facilities of money and credit, left him, indeed, who in former years was a "wealthy planter," now a "pauper landholder," unable to command from his wide but dilapidated domain, a sufficient income to meet current expenses, even of the most frugal order. Lands And Negroes. "Lands and negroes to make cotton and sugar, and cotton and sugar to extend the areage of his domain and increase the number of his laborers," was his former policy.
