This is a very interesting chapter, I include it because it is a part of African American history I was never taught in school. The book was written and published in the mid 1800's its language and social attitudes is a reflection of that time, the language may be a bit offensive to our modern ears. The very fact that the author included this information at all is a testament to its importance. I have been out of school for a long while now and have no idea if this information is being presented to the children of today. It seems far too important to keep it locked away in a rare and long out of print book. I hope someone finds this useful.
Note: Since first writing this is 1999, I have been to Hartford's historical graveyard. A memorial to the Black Governors, and other early settlers of color, both freeman and slaves, has been erected there by the children of Hartford.
