To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
But there are thousands 9 of masters at the South who believe Slaveiy to be a logical deduction from sure premises, and a fair in- ference from Christian truths. It is equally wrong to charge upon all masters harsh usage or cold neglect of their slaves. In many families they are treated with uniform kindness. We gain nothinsr in our address to the consciences or the sensibilities of Southern slaveholders by representing them as destitute of all proper feeling. Not less impolitic is it, nor less... imsound, to take our impression of Slavery from the extreme cases which arise, on the one hand or on the other. Such cases show to what abuse of authority it may tend, or, contrariwise, what mitigation it may carry in its own bosom ; but they do not expose the real character of the institution : and it is against this that we must direct our efforts, and this therefore that w^e need to understand. The fault in that tale which had such an unprecedented reception from half the civilized world, but in its permanent influence will be seriously damaged by this defect, lies in the fact, that it is a narrative of exceptional cases ; each of which may have had its counterpart in actual life, but still illus- trates a comparatively rare result of the system.
