12. The South and the “Peculiar Institution”
A plantation well stocked with workers is the ambition of every man who lives in the South. Young men who come to this country ”to make money” want this This is the reason for the great number of planters and few professionals if they are at all successful. As soon as the young lawyer make enough to purchase a few hundred acres of rich soil and a few slaves, he quits his profession at once and turns cotton planter. The legal profession in Natchez [MS] is composed entirely of young men.
Physicians make money much more rapidly than lawyers so they turn planter even sooner They far outnumber the regular doctors who have not yet climbed high enough to leap down into a cotton field on the other side.
- Joseph Ingraham, “The South-West”, 1835

Now the river ends between two hills,
The old man is a waiting for to carry you to freedom,
There's another river on the other side,

A minute to smile and an hour to weep in,
A pint of joy and a peck of trouble,
And never a laugh, but the moans come double
And that is life!
