What is civilization? It is a practical knowledge of agriculture? Then I am willing to compare the farms and gardens of this nation with those of the mass of white population in the Territory. The advantage will be on our side. Does civilization consist in good and comfortable buildings? Here, if the comparison be made, we shall have the advantage over the mass of your people.... Does it consist in morality and religion? Our people have built, wholly at their own expense, the only Meeting house in the Territory;... Does it consist in school and the education of youth? I believe a larger portion of our youths can read and write than of those in your own settlements. Editorial by No-Killer Arkansas Gazette, 1828
