Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Freedmen of the South In lieu of an introduction to the accompanying work, the writer would fain offer an apology for its incompleteness. Some months ago the finished manuscript of a similar, but more ambitious, work was totally destroyed by the explosion of a lamp, and the present volume, a mere skeleton of resurrected ideas evoked from the scattered ashes of the former and written in the intervals of labor as a missionary teacher among the Freedmen, is necessarily imperfect. The writer has long been of opinion that, were the true character and condition of this "peculiar people" correctly set forth, it would tend greatly to lessen the unreasoning prejudice of the North against them personally, while on the other hand, were the South capable of comprehending the unselfish motives and self-sacrificing zeal that characterize the great body of the despised "Yankee Teachers" who have had the effrontery to beard the Lion of Chivalry in his den, it would doubtless ameliorate in great measure the malignant bitterness that has heretofore prompted their persecutions. A work of the present nature the author is convinced can not but be conducive to a more thorough understanding of the vexed question, as well as conciliative of kindly feeling between the two sections whose interests, though divided, are one. With such a motive, and for such a purpose, was the present work designed. It is a registrar of facts, not of opinions, a record of history, and a "plain, unvarnished" statement of events as they occurred, penned in no spirit of malice, but kindly in behalf of "God´s poor." Trusting it may be instrumental, in some slight degree, in effecting so desirable a result, the author sends it adrift upon the sea of literature, bidding both it and the courageous laborers in the lowly vineyards of the beautiful, sunbright South an earnest "God speed!"
