From 1860 :
"John Townsend was a South Carolina state senator and owner of a large cotton plantation, known as Bleak Hall, on Edisto Island, near Charleston."
"GENTLEMEN OF THE ASSOCIATION: As we are organized for the object, especially, of protecting our slave institutions, it is proper that we should hold frequent counsel together, and carefully consider the modes by which it might be assailed. The crisis is fast approaching, and a few brief weeks will decide ,whether we are to drag out a few years more of dishonored existence,—under a Black Republican rule, which has openly declared their purpose to destroy us...."
You feel sorry for them? Didn't think so.

Booker T. Washington said:
"There is another class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs....There is a certain class of race-problem solvers who do not want the patient to get well, because as long as the disease holds out they have not only an easy means of making a living, but also an easy medium through which to make themselves prominent before the public."
