Excerpt from The Slave Power: Its Character, Career and Probable Designs: Being an Attempt to Explain the Real Issue Involved in the American Contest
"I could easily prove that almost all the differences which are observed between the characters of the Americans in the Southern and Northern States have had their origin in slavery." - Tocqueville.
"If America ever undergoes great revolutions, they will be brought about by the presence of the blacks on the soil of the United States; that is to say, it will not be equality of conditions, but, on the contrary, inequality, which will produce them." - Ibid.
"African slavery as it exists among us - the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization - this was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution. Jefferson, in his forecast, had anticipated this as the "rock upon which the old Union would split." He was right. What was conjecture with him is now a realized fact." - A. H. Stephens, Vice-president of the Southern Confederacy.
