Sinossi
Excerpt from The King of Rivers: With a Chart of Our Slave and Free Soil Territory
In ascending the Mississippi, it is well to pause and Observe, in its very citadel. The workings of slavery. It is the fashion to say, that the mere presence of slavery stagnates the flow of industry, and impedes ruinously the prosperous advance Of any country and there is a certain amount of truth in this - as there is in all popular errors; for they must have a little breath of vitality to live - but it is a partial and distorted truth.
It is true, that educated and self-governing industrial classes are the ablest supporters of the state, but all producers have their value.
