It was to his interest to dwarf the soul and preserve the body.\u003cbr\u003eVested with unlimited power over his slave, to subject him to any and all\u003cbr\u003ekinds of physical punishment, the white man was still restrained from such\u003cbr\u003epunishment as tended to injure the slave by abating his physical powers\u003cbr\u003eand thereby reducing his financial worth. While slaves were scourged\u003cbr\u003emercilessly, and in countless cases inhumanly treated in other respects,\u003cbr\u003estill the white owner rarely permitted his anger to go so far as to take a\u003cbr\u003elife, which would entail upon him a loss of several hundred dollars. The\u003cbr\u003eslave was rarely killed, he was too valuable; it was easier and quite as\u003cbr\u003eeffective, for discipline or revenge, to sell him \"Down South.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut Emancipation came and the vested interests of the white man in the\u003cbr\u003eNegro's body were lost. The white man had no right to scourge the\u003cbr\u003eemancipated Negro, still less has he a right to kill him. But the Southern\u003cbr\u003ewhite people had been educated so long in that school of practice, in\u003cbr\u003ewhich might makes right, that they disdained to draw strict lines of\u003cbr\u003eaction in dealing with the Negro. In slave times the Negro was kept\u003cbr\u003esubservient and submissive by the frequency and severity of the scourging,\u003cbr\u003ebut, with freedom, a new system of intimidation came into vogue; the Negro\u003cbr\u003ewas not only whipped and scourged; he was killed.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070109008112,"sku":"2940013650305","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013650305_p0.jpg?v=1763583858","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013650305","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
