During my lifetime the emancipa

gressive event. in the annals of the
land, than that of the emancipation
OF the Negro. Some OF my readers

The slave holder was entitled by
law to control the children of his

his will he might cause the outrage to
continue even after his death What
more could clave holder do with
he children of his slave?
The negro slave could not sue in
court: neither could white mans
wife. A negro slave could not be
taught in schools or, in fact. other
