PAPERS FOR THE PEOPLE. - NO. VIII. ISSUED BY THE SOUTHERN INDEPENDENCE ASSOCIATION. CENTRAL OFFICE, 26, MARKET STREET, MANCHESTER. THE NEGRO IN THE NORTH
- [Manchester , 1863
[Manchester, 1863. 4pp. Caption title, as issued. Disbound, else Very Good.
England's cotton connection with the American South inclined many British subjects to support the Confederacy. This pamphlet addresses "the sympathies of Englishmen on the side of the North, on the ground that the North is opposed to slavery."
The only reason Negro Slavery has mostly disappeared in the North is that slavery is unprofitable there. In fact, Negroes are despised in the North: they are barred from schools, white churches, employment, public accommodations. The pamphlet quotes Tocqueville: "The negro is free, but he can share neither the right, nor the pleasures, nor the labour, nor the afflictions,nor the tomb of him whose equal he has been declared to be; and he cannot meet him upon fair terms in life or in death."
