Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The North American Review, Vol. 101 The peculiarity with which slavery usually stamps its victims is effected not so much by a positive brand of its own as by simply removing him from that contact with circumstance which is the normal condition of growth. Outside of slavery, even in almost every depth of barbarism, circumstances serve to increase human power. But in slavery, not only are natural rights denied, but, what is quite as injurious, necessary wants are supplied; everything contributes to the repression of faculty. The slaveholder´s institution is a nursery for perpetuating infancy; and the more enlightened the nurse, the more successful his efforts. The world has waited for the nineteenth century and republican institutions to develop slavery in its hugest and most direful proportions; and now that the man-owner´s reckless pride has made its fatal mistake, the most shameful spectacle that ever saddened earth is opened for the nations to behold, - the spectacle of a race of stunted, misshapen children, writhing from the grasp of that people which, in so many respects, is the foremost of the age. It is this immaturity that occasions the chief difficulty in analyzing the negro´s nature, as we see it in the South. In each separate faculty of his mental and moral constitution we miss the effect of training. No tendency has had scope to display its direction and vigor.
