You show a familiarity with one side of the literature of the 19th Century on the subject of how slaves were treated in the South. Having attended Oberlin College, which has perhaps the most extensive collection of such literature in the College library, I am well aware of the libelous nature of same. (Oberlin was the Western extension of the Abolitionist movement, and was indeed the first College in America which had openly embraced it.)
There is, however, a great wealth of material that gives the lie to your outlandish accusations, and indeed the statutes on the books of every Southern State but Louisiana, made what you falsely allege as normal a criminal offense.
