1t is curious fact of history, so
far especially as the Negro is con-
cerned, that notwithstanding the
scorn with which he is regarded
and the cruel discrimi nations prac-
ticed against him end permitted
thru lack Of controlling and dom
mate sentiment for fair play in the
American people, that he is invar.
iably brought forward when an
emergency demands
The most notable instance OF
the u-e or misuse Ut dept nds on
the point of view) Of the Negro
and the one that illustrates the
depths of wickedness and injustice
to which groups of men in anlhor-
ity as we'll as individuals may
abandon themselves, is afforded i'll
the desperate plight to which the
Confederate forces had been re
duced towards the end of the Civil
War.
The slaves in most intimate
and dependable way contributed
nightly towards the support aud
early success of the Confederate
cause, as cooks aud ladorers and in
other POSITIONS as servants in the
field. They were in this way II
tower of f rength and comfort to
those who were seeking to peipet-
nate their bondage.
Beyond and above this, however
was the service of loyal devotion
to the home and family-the ser.
vice that gave the dependent wo-
men and children meat and drink
the service, by sweat and toll in
the cotton fields and on the plan
tatione, that rroduc, d the revenue
for guns and ammuuitions and
uniforms.
Even to this point history re
cords no more pathetic inciden.
of an ironical fate than is shown
in this service of the slaves, given
with ungrudging loyalty and in a
cause that could spell nothing less
than their continu d degradation
and continued permanent efface-
ment as possible factor in Amer
ican citizenship.
But the summary of sacrifice was
not set reached-the crowning act
of racial self abuegat.on had moi
yet been demanded.
The supreme n, ed of the col.
lapsing Confedracy urged a re
course to alternatives the most
desperate and altogether without
precedent. The rigorous demand
for men made necessary the
stretching of the age limits of ser.
vice. Eighteen aud thirty five, in
a short while proved too conserva.
