Thoughts on the Religious Instruction of the Negroes of this Country
Plumer, William S. (William Swan)
African Americans -- Religion
"9th. Let owners also pay special attention to their plantation
regulations; all these should be founded on Christian principle.
Discipline, labour, houses, food, clothing, should all be attended to;
lest in works we deny our profession. This is fundamental.
"10th. While strict subordination is maintained on plantations, the
general police of counties should be rigidly adhered to, and if possible
the coloured population protected from ardent spirits. The plan now
hinted at, or one very similar, will perhaps be found best suited to
their genius, habits, and condition."
But we must close. If our readers feel half the interest in this
subject, which its importance demands, they will thank us for these
views, even if they should not concur in every suggestion made. Let
every man stand in his lot, and put on the whole armour of God.
