Excerpt from William John Grayson, The Hireling and the Slave, second edition (Charleston: John Russell, 1855) Slavery is that system of labour which exchanges subsistence for work, which secures a life-maintenance from the master to the slave, and gives life-labou slave to the master. The slave is an apprentice for life, and owes his labour to his master; the master owes support, during life, to the slave. Slavery is the of labour. Slavery makes all work, and it ensures homes, food and clothing for all. It permits no idleness, and it provides for sickness, infancy, and old age tramping or skulking, and it knows no pauperism... What more can be required of Slavery, in reference to the negro, than has been done? It has made h savage, an orderly efficient labourer. It supports him in comfort and peace. It restrains his vices. It improves his mind, orals and manners. It instructs him knowledge.
