More from Horace Mann
Even cold, barren New England, though more than twice as thickly peopled, grew in population at a faster rate than these old slave states.
They cannot do otherwise with laborers who work by compulsion, for the benefit only of their masters, and whose sole interest in the matter is to do as little and to consume as much as possible.
He that chooses to employ a sort of labor that yields only half as much to the hand as another sort would yield, makes a choice that is not only unprofitable, but deeply injurious to his interest.
The wickedest white man, in a company of slaves, bears a charmed life.
