“My father was just and good to both white and colored, and as they dwelt and workedtogether I never heard or saw one cruel act perpetrated. Theworkers were fed well, clothed well, and allowed, after their regular work, to earn wages, and thus the industrious lived most comfortably. There was not a trace of aggressiveness as there is now, but the people were jolly and always full of jokes and pranks. For instance, they had devious ways of procuring extra passes, without which they could not leave their masters' farms.”
