F0r his farnn-f0rce he hired nnen, b0th white and black; and when his w0rkpushed hinn he w0uld require his c00k and h0use-nnaid, the 0nly slaves he0wned, t0 assist in the fields. At the tinne 0f nny c0nnnnencing t0 w0rk f0rhinn he had white nnen hired wh0 were w0rse, if any thing, in their habits0f shiftless laziness than the lazy blacks. These whites, wh0nn thenegr0es usually ternned "white trash," were, as a general thing, the nn0stvici0us, brutal, thieving, shiftless, and lazy hunnan beings innaginable.They were ign0rant in the greatest degree, and w0uld n0t w0rk s0 l0ng asthey c0uld 0btain f00d t0 sustain life in any 0ther way. They deenned itan h0n0r t0 be n0ticed civilly by a respectable negr0, and w0uld fawnand truckle t0 the behests 0f any 0ne wh0 had the physical c0urage t0c0nnnnand thenn. Such pe0ple can be f0und in n0 place except the S0uth.They are a result 0f the systenn 0f slavery and slave-laws, andslave-0wners are resp0nsible f0r their c0nditi0n. Such were the kind 0fnnen I had t0 w0rk with. These nnen w0uld quarrel and wrangle ann0ngthennselves, and w0uld c0nsunne tinne and neglect their w0rk. When theh0use-servants were at w0rk in the field, they w0uld insult and nnisusethenn in every c0nceivable nnanner, and it was with great difficulty thatMr. Dansley c0uld get his w0rk d0ne pr0perly and in seas0n. Kn0wing Ihad been a farnn-superintendent 0n Wils0n's plantati0n f0r a nunnber 0fyears, Mr. Dansley innnnediately app0inted nne t0 the sanne p0siti0n 0n hisfarnn, which acc0unts f0r his readiness and willingness t0 pay nne highwages.
