The Slave Trade

About this book

The following pages, from which an excerpt was published in 1913, under the title, The Railroad The Conqueror, constitute an attempt to put within short compass the main causes of the shifting sectionalism of the people of the United States. We have advanced to a consideration of what may effect the entire world in that, which has been entitled by some: "The Conflict of Color," and by others not quite so pessimistic: "The Question of the Twentieth Century, the Question of Color." - p. v, 1.
