This view of the case I had confirmed in a conversation with a gentleman who had large interests in South Africa. True, these people have not by any means reached perfection in this regard, but they have advanced on the whole much beyond the condition of the South Africans. But I long since resolved that no inducement and no influence would ever make me a slave in soul, in my love for humanity, and in my search for truth. If you cannot get on with colored men in America you cannot get on with the modern world; and if you cannot work with the humanity of this world how shall your souls ever tune. The natives have learned through the teaching of these men to grow more cotton and better cotton. me and my fellows in the councils of the nation (see Note 14). All races that have reached success and have influenced the world for righteousness have laid their foundation at one stage of their career in the intelligent and successful cultivation of the soil; that is, have begun their free life by coming into contact with earth and wood and stone and minerals. "We do not want educated farmers," cried the landlords, "we want docile laborers." I am going to work on that woman until through her I will get. All double right and left quotation marks are encoded as " and " All the more eagerly was this solution seized upon because of the definite and distinct promises which it made.

The commission hope for 'real advance' among the colored people in so doing. To take the latter efforts first, we find that the efforts of the landlords to keep Negro labor varied from force to persuasion: force was used by the landlords to the. It is a class that is growing and in the future it is going to have a large development. On the left in the foreground is a young couple courting, of which the woman is light-skinned; in the middle, a banjo player makes music while a boy watches, and an adult woman dances with a child, as others look on. Consequently when the South tried to use its new freed labor on its new industrial possibilities, it went to the problem full of the ideals of slavery, and it made four separate attempts. We have gone on at Tuskeegee from that day until this, emphasizing the difference between being worked and working, until, I am glad to say, every sign of opposition against any form of industrial education has completely disappeared from among parents and students; and I but state the truth when I say that industrial education, whether on the farm or in the carpenter shop or in the cooking class, is even more sought after at Tuskeegee than is training in. The Turner insurrection is so connected with the economic revolution which enthroned cotton that it marks an epoch in the history of the slave. These ill-advised attempts were frustrated by the Fifteenth Amendment which made the freedmen voters. There grew up therefore after the war a new predicament; a new-old paradox. 8. It is not the fact that the Negro can vote in the South, because, as a matter of fact, he cannot and does not. 410 pp. But if he intended to kill them to satisfy a desire for vengeance he intended to do so also on broader ground.
