Excerpt from Secession: In the FutureToo much space is given to this author. One more quotation is necessary, on the subject of education.How general is that intelligence which has made Georgia 'the Banner State of the South 2' Of the free native population of Georgia, according to the census returns, one in nine and a-half, on an average, are without the smallest rudiments of school education (cannot read or write). In Maine, which among the old free States compares most closely with Georgia, in density of population, (that of one being sixteen, the other fifteen to square mile, ) the proportion is one in two hundred and forty-one. With other free States, a comparison would be still more unfavorable to the Georgia experiment.It is an agreeable circumstance that the author who has thus described men and things as they have always existed, although not generally understood, is now performing patriotic duty at the White it is called. He has an efficient and prominent position in the Sanitary Commission and renders constant service on land and on water.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
