Book excerpt: Excerpt from Report of the Special Committee of the House of Representatives, of South Carolina: On So Much of the Message of His Excellency Gov; Jas; H. Adams, as Relates to Slavery and the Slave Trade The Special Committee to whom was referred so much of Message No. 1, of his late Excellency Governor James H. Adams, as relates to Slavery and the Slave Trade ask leave to Report: That, being duly impressed with the magnitude of the subject intrusted to them, they have given it that mature investigation, and careful attention, which its importance demands. In deliberating over a topic which deeply absorbs the public mind, a calm survey of all the questions involved is essential to a wise conclusion; and hence they submit a summary of those views, which, they believe to be a true exposition of the opinion of the people of South Carolina. That slavery has always existed, is recorded in the world's history. That it always will exist, in some form, however modified by the several circumstances of race, climate, civilization and tradition, may be inferred; from the evident necessity of a menial class of duties to be performed by no other than a menial class of individuals; from the natural inequalities existing between the several races, classes, and conditions of men; from the accumulation of wealth, on the one hand, which gives patronage and power, and the continuance of poverty, on the other, which needs protection and seeks service; from the necessity of social order and civil government; and from all the other universal evidences which God has manifested in the economy of his creation. It is only African slavery, however, which we have now to consider. And no argument is necessary to show, that this is an essential element in our domestic and social systems, our political government and our foreign power; and hence, is unalterably interwoven with our destiny. With it we survive or perish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
