The Yankee Slave Driver, or the Black and White Rivals (Classic Reprint) - Hardcover

Excerpt from The Yankee Slave Driver, or the Black and White Rivals

Hence it is that the literature of slavery has assumed, during its brief existence, various phases; but it has in these latter days, achieved a new development, which seems to possess greater power, and to gain a stronger hold on public interest, than any it had previously dis played. We mean the department of slave-novels works of imagination, based upon facts, as theysure con stantly exhibited and developed by the operation of slavery. Several works of this class, possessing great power and merit, have already appeared; and it is to be hoped that the supply is not yet exhausted.
