Book excerpt: Excerpt from Recollections of the Civil War and Going West to Grow Up With the Country I once heard that prince of orators, Colonel In gersoll, say in a public address, We of the North owned slaves but we found it didn't pay, hence we concluded it wasn't right. Anybody can see that a thing isn't right when it doesn't pay. And Henry W. Grady, in his address on the New South before the New England society of New York, put it this way: Had Mr. Tombs said, which he did not say, that he would call the roll of his slaves at the foot of Bunker Hill, he would have been foolish, for he might have known that whenever slavery became entangled in war it must perish; that the chattel in human flesh ended forever in New England when your fathers, not to be blamed for parting with what did not pay, sold their slaves to our fathers, not to be praised for know ing a paying thing when they saw it. And in this connection I recall that in the case of Dred Scott against Sanford, the decision of which held that Scott was the slave of Sanford, notwithstanding he had been voluntarily taken into territory where slavery was prohibited by the terms of the Missouri compro mise act, and which did so much to bring on the war, the defendant Sanford was a New Yorker.
