To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
"[341] The fewfaint voices of encouragement, that once in a great while reached themfrom the pulpit[342] and forum, were as strange music, mellowed andsweetened by the distance. The free and slave Negroes were separatedby law, were not allowed to communicate together to any great extent. They were not allowed in numbers greater than three, and then, if notin the service of some white person, were liable to be arrested, andsent to the House of Correction. "The slave was the property of his m...aster as much as his ox or his horse; _he had no civil rights_ but that of protection from cruelty; he could acquire no property nor dispose of any[343] without the consent of his master.... We think he had not the capacity to communicate a civil relation to his children, which he did not enjoy himself, except as the property of his master. "[344] With but small means the free Negroes of the colony were unable tosecure many comforts in their homes. They were hated and dreaded morethan their brethren in bondage.
