[I will not defend nor condemn the owning of slaves in this book. As you see
JAMES had many of them, as did other FOYs. Each of us has our own thoughts
about the matter. Right and wrong, good and evil, being socially or politically
correct, and a host of other moral issues are matters which are faced by all

peoples at all times and in all places. It is sufficient to say that the general
feelings of honorable people in the early 1800s were different from those of
honorable people in later years in the same century and the people in the
present.]
