“The very mudsills of society. We call them slaves. But I will not characterize that class at the North with that term; but you have it. It is there, it is everywhere, it is eternal.” TermClassEternalSlaverySlave Author:James Henry Hammond
“In all social systems there must be a class to do the menial duties, to perform the drudgery of life. That is, a class requiring but a low order of intellect and but little skill. Its requisites are vigor, docility, fidelity. Such a class you must have, or you would not have that other class which leads progress, civilization, and refinement.” LittlesOrderSocialClassProgressDutyCivilizationSkillsLowsIntellectFidelityVigorRefinementDrudgerySocial Systems Book:Selections from the Letters and Speeches of the Hon.
