Racism:
They call that a govment that cant sell a free n***** till he’s been in the state six months. Here’s a govment that call itself a govment and lets on to be a govment, and yets got to set stock- still for six whole months before it can take ahold of a prowling, thieving, infernal, white- shirted free nigger”. Chapter 5, page 21 paragraph one. I believe this means he is saying a government that lets blacks be free is a bad government . blacks are thieves.
I think the quote was very racist. The quote was disrespectful to blacks and the government. I think only a person who is dumb and uneducated would say something like that. I did not like the quote at all.
