the white man. His responsibilities were
carried by the white man. He was pro
vided for by the white man. The white
man was his subsistence and defense, and
whether it has occurred to you or not the
black man and the white man were united
by a strong bond of friendship.
The old slave today has a pride of
affectionate remembrance for the white
man who was his white man in the old
days. The old slave warms with joy
when he falls in with the white folks
who were his boys and girls when he was
on the plantation.. The darky was loyal
to his white folks and as proud of them
as if he had been the head of the house
himself and the house the greatest house
in the state. The white folks could feel
a sense of absolute confidence in the vast
majority of their darkies. While there
were tales of cruelty in the treatment of
slaves those tales were founded on the
rare exceptions.1 The actual fact is that
the white folks were more often the slaves
of their negroes than the negroes were
slaves of the masters, except in the' one
feature, that' of legal ownership and of
the right of chattel. I have always held
that war emancipated the white . man
rather than the negro. In more ways
than one the whites were the slaves of
slavery. They were the victims of a sys
tem that shouldered the country with a
responsibility that the restricion of
slavery put on all man, white or black.
All responsibility rested on the white
men, while much of the restriction - im
posed by slavery went with the responsi
bility. GOING BOND FOR SAMBO
The great thing that emancipation did
for the negro was not giving him free
dom, but giving him responsibility.
When he stood on the feet of the white
man he was sustained without any ambi
tion of his own coming into play. . Free
dom put him on his own resources. The
white man continues fo be his dependence,
and notwithstanding the notion that the
state of . eternal warfare exists between
the races the contrary is the fact. Any
body who doubts this need only go to
court some day when the criminal calen
dar is on. As each particular case is
disposed of some particular white man
will be found quietly coming over to
the office of the clerk of court to see
"how much I have to put up to get my
nigger out." If you put your finger on
any negro cabin in the state I venture it
will not be far from a path that leads to
the home of a white man not far away,
and that path is beaten by the feet of
the darky going to the white man's
house, and by the white man going to the
darky's house. Each has the confidence
of the other, and each depends on the
other. And in spite of the line drawn
between races a line that will never be
wiped out, there is a persistent friend
ship between the two that is apparently
just as persistent as the race separation.
While emancipation removed from the
white man's shoulders the responsibility
of the negro, it did notr emove from the
negro his dependence of the white man,
nor wholly remove the dependence of the
white man on 'the negro. With this de
pendence is a certain sentiment, a friend
liness, a sympathy on the part of the
white man and
of the black man. parfc
It is worth while to fall in ML som
of the old negroes who were slav and t
talk with them and learn the ri stor
of slavery. The strong attachment," the
warm affection of the slave and the mas
ter, an affection that began with child
hood and persisted through life, will show
that in a vast majority of cases slavery
was patriarchal more than a brutal rela
tion between master and man. To fall
in with some of the old ones will give a
new insight into life, and into a life that
is peculiar to this particular section of
the world, a life that is interesting in
its influence on the shaping of human
character and one that reflects one of the
great experiences of the world, that of
the most modern successful form of
slavery.
