Excerpt from An Address on the Progress of Manufactures and Internal Improvement, in the United States, and Particularly, on the Advantages to Be Derived From the Employment of Slaves in the Manufacturing of Cotton and Other Goods: Delivered in the Hall of the Franklin Institute, November 6, 1827
Should the truth of the doctrine which I have advocated be admitted, the philanthropist, and the political economist, will hail with equal pleasure the change which will be effected in the south, by the introduction of manufacturing establish ments; as it will, at the same time, add greatly to the com fort of the slave, and to the solid wealth of the community. For a considerable period the planters in many places have found it extremely difficult to pay their current expenses, and to feed and clothe their negroes, from the annual produce of their lands; and thousands have removed to the more fertile regions in the western states, not with the expectation of ac cumulating wealth, but merely for the purpose of obtaining a ready and abundant supply for their negro families; thou sands more of our southern fellow-citizens will be compelled to adopt the same expedient, unless some new resource be obtained.
