Fanny Kemble

Fanny Kemble
" The slaves in whom I then had an unfortunate interest were sold some years ago. The islands themselves are at present in the power of the Northern troops. The record contained in the following pages is a picture of conditions of human existence which I hope and believe have passed away. "

Fanny Kemble
" The vast concourse of people who had assembled to witness the triumphant arrival of the successful travellers was of the lowest orders of mechanics and artisans, among whom great distress and a dangerous spirit of discontent with the government at that time prevailed. "

Fanny Kemble
" The white man's blood and bones have begotten this bronze race, and bequeathed to it in some degree qualities, tendencies, capabilities, such as are the inheritance of the highest order of human animals. "

Fanny Kemble
" Until the late abolition movement, the spiritual interests of the slaves were about as little regarded as their physical necessities. "
