The Negro Farmer

In the last three hundred years there have been many questions of general interest before the American people. It is doubtful, however, if there is another problem which is as warmly debated to-day as ever and whose solution is yet so uncertain as that of the Negro. In the second decade of the seventeenth century protests were being filed against black slavery but the system was continued for nearly 250 years. The discussion grew more and more bitter, and to participation in it ignorance then as now was no bar.
