Christopher Dickey Quotes

It Did Not Take Bunch Very Long, Amid The Politicking And The Revelry, To Discover The Darker Side Of Life In Charleston's Homes. "The Frightful Atrocities Of Slaveholding Must Be Seen To Be Described," He Wrote In A Private Letter That Wound Up Prominently Positioned In The Official Slave-trade Correspondence Of The Foreign Office. "My Next-door Neighbor, A Lawyer Of The First Distinction And A Member Of The Southern Aristocracy, Told Me Himself That He Flogged All His Own People - Men And Women - When They Misbehaved. I Hear Also That He Makes Them Strip, And After Telling Them That They Were To Consider It As A Great Condescension On His Part To Touch Them, Gives Them A Certain Number Of Lashes With A Cow-hide. The Frightful Evil Of The System Is That It Debases The Whole Tone Of Society - For The People Talk Calmly Of Horrors Which Would Not Be Mentioned In Civilized Society. It Is Literally No More To Kill A Slave Than To Shoot A Dog.
