Jefferson Davis: The Rise and Fall of the Confederate Government (1881), zitiert nach: Janice A. Radway (Hrsg.): American Studies: An Anthology. John Wiley & Sons, 2009, ISBN 978-1-4051-1351-9, S.529 (google.com): „[The] servile instincts [of slaves] rendered them contented with their lot, and their patient toil blessed the land of their abode with unmeasured riches. Their strong local and personal attachment secured faithful service ... never was there happier dependence of labor and capital on each other. The tempter came, like the serpent of Eden, and decoyed them with the magic word of 'freedom' ... He put arms in their hands, and trained their humble but emotional natures to deeds of violence and bloodshed, and sent them out to devastate their benefactors.“
