To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Man^ planters, who pride themselves upon the excellence of their discipline, forbid these intermarriages altogether ; and if they happen to have a superabundance of men-servants, they prefer that one woman should have a half-a-dozen husbands rather than suffer their slaves to be corrupted, by gaddmg about among other people's plantations. Other managers, just as good discrplmarians, and a little more shrewd than their neighbors, forbid the men only to marry away fix)m home. They are very willin...g to let their women get husbands where they can. They reason in this way. When a husband goes to see his wife, who lives upon another plantation, he will not be apt to go empty- handed. He will carry something with him, probably something eatable, plundered from his master's fields, that may serve to make him welcome, and render his coming a sort of festival. Now every thing that is brought upon a plantation in this way, is so much clear gain ; and so far as It goes, it amounts to feeding one's people at the expense cf one's neighbors !
