The Origins of the Civil War (Part One)

“I think a change already perceptible, since the origin of the present revolution. The spirit of the master is abating, that of the slave rising from the dust, his condition is mollifying, the way I hope preparing, under the auspices of heaven, for a total emancipation, and that this is disposed... to be with the consent of the masters.” –Thomas Jefferson, 1782

“Talk then not about kind and Christian masters. They are not masters of the system. The system is master of them.” -James Pennington, former slave “It is not the fault of the slaveholder that he is so cruel, so much as it is the fault of the system under which he lives.” -Solomon Northrup, former slave

“The master should feel it his duty to make them as comfortable as circumstances permit.” “As far as practicable, families of negroes should be kept together.” -taken from guides to managing slaves

“We are the most perfect society now existing in the world. Here man is free as he ought to be. Our society here is not composed, as in Europe, of great lords who possess everything, and of a herd of people who have nothing. Here are no aristocratical families, no courts, no kings, no bishops, no ecclesiastical dominion... no great manufacturers employing thousands, no great refinements of luxury.” -Crevecoeur, Letters from an American Farmer (1782)

“The social condition of the Americans is eminently democratic. This was its character at the foundation of the colonies, and it is still more strongly marked at the present day. Nothing struck me more forcibly than the general equality of condition among the people. Indeed men are there seen on a greater equality than in any other country of the world, or in any age which history has preserved to remembrance.” -de Tocqueville, Notes (1831)
