Slavery in the Southern States (Classic Reprint)

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Slavery in the Southern States "I cannot imagine a more splendid career, intellectually speaking, than that of a slave-owner in a slave state, who is thoroughly awakened to the difficulty of his position. - The Author of Friends in Council. To preach distant reform is very cheap philanthropy, - the cheaper in proportion to the distance. The feeling of self-satisfaction exists without the necessity of personal sacrifice. Hence the temptation that betrays sometimes good men into ill-considered zeal. The danger is, that recrimination and bitter blood be the only result; for those whose faults are held up for blame are tempted into the easy answer of pointing to faults "at home." And so such attempts at reform generally end in harm. We can call to mind no instance in which such intervention is friendly, or held to be friendly. Certainly not between those claiming to be equals in moral cultivation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
