Excerpt from Papers on the Slave Power: First Published in the "Boston Whig"
Most New England men, who have talked five minutes with a Virginian, have heard him illustrate the characters of the two races by a reference to their Roundhead and Cavalier origin. He is apt to be under some misapprehension of the facts. Of the Roundhead founders of Massachusetts many were persons of fortune and education, and not a few were of the noble and gentle blood of England. The settlers of Virginia were Cavaliers of that sort of which Wildrake, in Scott's novel of Woodstock, is the type and embodiment. "A great part," so says Captain Smith, the man who saved them from self-destruction, "were unruly sparks, packed off by their friends to escape worse destinies at home. Many were poor gentlemen, broken tradesmen, rakes, and libertines, footmen, and such others as were much fitter to spoil and ruin a Commonwealth than to help to raise or maintain one."
These were just the sort of people for slavery to suit. A Dutch ship, in 1620, brought some African slaves into James River, and from that time the importation went on rapidly. The foundation of the domestic institution, and of the social fabric of the South, were laid. When, in 1646, a cargo of Africans were brought from the slave-coast to Boston, the magistrates sent them back, declaring themselves "bound by the first opportunity to bear witness against the heinous and crying sin of man-stealing." The destiny of New-England was to be different.
The settlement of South Carolina began with negroes from the West Indies, and in a few years their number within her borders was nearly double that of the whites.
