summary:
  Union of different races is, on the other hand, often highly beneficial, our own blood being a fortunate result of such a union, but such races must be similar and not like those of Europe, Africa, and the natives of this country, wholly dissimilar or repugnant. The union of such races produces the results described by Dr. Kneeland.

  Why, grandmother, I thought when I overheard Aunt Gwendolin talk, that _I_ was the Yellow Pearl; she called me such the first day I came, I said. Let her alone, said Aunt Gwendolin scornfully, and let the whole city know we have introduced the Yellow Per---- Gwendolin, dear, interrupted grandmother, do not speak so.

summary:
  I noticed that among this class of colored men the word nigger was freely used in about the same sense as the word fellow, and sometimes as a term of almost endearment; but I soon learned that its use was positively and absolutely prohibited to white men. I knew that there were several colored men worth a hundred or so thousand dollars each, and some families who proudly dated their free ancestry back a half-dozen generations.

  Katy's reply, Yes, ma'am--I mean, Aunt Emma, was submissive and meek enough, but it was hard for Mrs. Wainwright to overlook that very pronounced wink with which Katy favoured Sunny ere she departed. At this juncture, and when he was within but a few feet of the throne Jerry saw Sunny.

summary:
  Said Napoleon at Austerlitz to a young Russian officer, overwhelmed with shame at yielding his sword, Young man, be consoled: those who are conquered by my soldiers may still have titles to glory. Sunday followed,--a day filled not with a Sabbath calm, but with the stillness felt in nature before some awful convulsion; the silence preceding earthquake, volcano, or blasting storm; a quiet broken from Maine to the Pacific slope when the next day shone, and men roused themselves from the sleep of a night to the duty of a day, from the sleep of generations, fast merging into death, at the trumpet-call to arms,--a cry which sounded through every State and every household in the land, which, more powerful than the old songs of Percy and Douglas, brought children from their play, and old men from their chimney-corners, to emulate humanity in its strength and prime, and contest with it the opportunity to fight and die in a deathless cause.

summary:
  Other white men gave their colored sons freedom and money, and sent them to the free States. Miss Clayton and her friends, by reason of their assumed superiority to black people, or perhaps as much by reason of a somewhat morbid shrinking from the curiosity manifested toward married people of strongly contrasting colors, would not marry black men, and except in rare instances white men would not marry them.

summary:
  White men might lynch a negro on suspicion; they would not kill a man who was proven, by the word of white men, to be entirely innocent. The matter was not only in his own thoughts, but in the air; it was the spontaneous revulsion of white men against the rule of an inferior race.

summary:
  Mr. Balch saw, from the nervous and embarrassed manner of Mr. Stevens, that the indirect threat of exposing him had had considerable effect; and his downcast looks and agitation rather strengthened in his mind the suspicions that had been excited by the disclosures of Mr. Walters. Mr. Ellis, whose house was quite indefensible (it being situated in a neighbourhood swarming with the class of which the mob was composed), had decided on bringing his family to the house of Mr. Walters, and sharing with him the fortunes of the night, his wife and daughters having declared they would feel as safe there as elsewhere; and, accordingly, about five in the afternoon, Mrs. Ellis came up, accompanied by Kinch and the girls.
