This is a letter of then Governor of South Carolina to the Speaker of the House of Representatives, circa, 1865, which was considering placing blacks in offices of power in the South. The entire world should read this factual information as to the worthiness of the blacks... "Education, sir, is the development of that which is. Since the dawn of history the negro has owned the continent of Africa, rich beyond the dreams of poet's fancy, crunching acres of diamonds beneath his bare, black feet; yet he never picked up one from the dust until a white man showed him its glitter- ing light. His land swarmed with powerful and docile animals, yet he never dreamed a harness, cart, or sled. A hunter by necessity, he never made an axe, spear, or arrowhead worth preserving beyond the moment of its use. He lived as an ox, content to graze for an hour. In a land of stone and timber he never sawed a foot of lumber, carved a block, or built a house save of broken sticks and mud. With league on league of ocean strait, and miles of inland seas, for four thousand years he watched their surface ripple under the wind, heard the thun- der of the surf calling him to lands beyond, and yet he never dreamed the sail! He lived as his fathers lived - stole his food, worked his wife, sold his children, ate his brother, content to drink, sing, dance and sport as the ape. And this creature, half child, half animal, the sport of impulse, whim and conceit, pleased with rattle, tickled with a straw, a being who, left to his will roams at night and sleeps in the day; whose speach knows no word of love, whose passions, once aroused, are as the fury of the tiger - they have set this thing to rule over the Southern people." This was the response to the "Reconstruction acts of the Jew-controlled Congress after the Civil War."
