Madison Grant on the Benefits of Slavery
Grant, Madison. (2016). Race and Democracy. In The Passing of the Great Race. (pp. 18-19). Ostara Publications. First published in 1916 by Charles Scribner’s Sons.
From a material point of view slaves are often more fortunate than freemen when treated with reasonable humanity and when their elemental wants of food, clothing and shelter are supplied.
The Indians around the fur posts in northern Canada were formerly the virtual bond slaves of the Hudson Bay Company, each Indian and his squaw and pappoose being adequately supplied with simple food and equipment.
He was protected as well against the white man’s rum as the red man’s scalping parties and in return gave the Company all his peltries — the whole product of his year’s work. From an Indian’s point of view this was nearly an ideal condition but was to all intents serfdom or slavery.
