Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Southern Slavery and Its Relations to Northern Industry: A Lecture Delivered at the Catholic Institute, in Cincinnati, January 24, 1862 It is common to hear it said that Slavery has existed, at one time or another, in all parts of the world. The remark is true enough; but it would be just as true and more philosophical to say that servitude, in some form or other - its character determined by the character of the parties - is a thing of all ages and of all countries. It has not only always existed, but there is every reason to believe that it will continue to exist until the time arrives - which need not be soon expected - when every human being in the world will be equal to every other, in vigor, activity, ambition and intelligence. Everywhere, and especially in those countries which we are wont to call civilized, the relation of master and servant is to be found, with a greater or less distance in the social scale between the one order and the other. The servile class, whatever it may happen to be called - whether slaves, servants, help, workmen or operatives - always performs the labor of the community, by which it gains subsistence; while the master class receives the profit, gaining thereby comfort or luxury: and in this most material respect, all forms of servitude agree. If the laborer is able to live by his labor in a manner conformably to his ideas - however rude his manners and uncultivated his tastes - society is satisfied; and seldom, in its own case, takes the trouble to inquire whether he is rising or sinking in manhood or intelligence in consequence of his servitude. In fact, society seldom becomes conscientious in respect to its own conditions. It assumes them to be right, or at least the best the circumstances will permit.
