Excerpt from Ruth's Sacrifice: Or Life on the Rappahannock
The poor whites, a phase of Southern life not so well known at the North, and to which we have given some prominence, are not an accident of the slave system, but a necessary result, bound to it by the immutable law of cause and effect. No picture of Southern institutions is com plete, in which this is not seen distinct in the back ground.
