This book is a pan african must have. Delany was a man ahead of his times. I think we are getting weaker with each generation spent in plantation society.

Whom they do not consider their equals? As I said before the Yankees are smart; there are good ones and bad ones. The good ones, if they are good they are very good, if they are bad, they are very bad.
But the worst and most contemptible, and even worse than even your masters were, are those Yankees, who hired themselves as overseers.
Believe none but those Agents who are sent out by Government, to enlighten and guide you. I am an officer in the service of the U. So is Gen'l Wild Asst Comr. I have no such ambition, I let them have for a President a white or a black one. I don't care who it be-it may be who has a mind to. I shall not be intimidated whether by threats or imprisonment, and no power will keep me from telling you the truth.
So I expressed myself even at Charleston, the hotbed of those scoundrels, your old masters, without fear or reluctance. As before the whole South depended upon you, now the whole country will depend upon you. I give you an advice how to get along.

Now I ask, what is that man doing, for whom is he working. I hear that he works for that and that farmer for 30 cents a day. I tell you that must not be. That would be cursed slavery over again. I will not have it, the Government will not have it, and the Government shall hear about it. I will tell the Government.
