To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
At the top was the gov ernor of the colony representing the majesty of the English king, at the bottom the serfs or slaves, some white, most of them black. Slavery therefore was gradually trans formed in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries into a social status out of which a man, even a black man, could escape and did escape ; and, no matter what his color was, when he became free, he became free in the same sense that other people were. Thus it was that there were free black voters in the... southern colonies (Virginia 132 The Negro in the South and the Carolinas) in the early days con cerning whose right to vote there was less question than there is concerning my right to vote now in Georgia (see Note 20). The church recognized the situation and the Episcopal church especially gave itself easily to this new conception. This church recognized the social gradation of men ; all souls were equal in the sight of God, but there were differences in worldly consider ation and respect, and consequently it was perfectly natural that there should be an aristocracy at the top and a group of serfs at the bottom.
