Description
Excerpt from American Negro Slavery, 1918: A Survey of the Supply, Employment and Control of Negro Labor as Determined by the Plantation Régime
For twenty years I have panned the sands of the stream of Southern life'' and garnered their golden treasure. Many of the nuggets rewarding the search have already been displayed in their natural form; 1 and this now is a coinage of the grains great and small. The metal is pure, the minting alone may be faulty. The die is the author''s mind, which has been shaped as well by a varied Northern environment in manhood as by a Southern one in youth. In the making of coins and of histories, however, locality is of less moment than are native Sagacity, technical training and a sense of truth and proportion. For these no warrant will hold. The product must stand or fall by its own quality.
