He lived in a town, and was a high-bred gentleman, and a lawyer.

He had but a few slaves, and had no occasion for an overseer, those negro leeches, to watch and drive them; but when he became embarrassed by his own folly, the chattel principle doomed this girl to be sold at the same sale with his books, house, and horses.

With my master she found herself under far more stringent discipline than she had been accustomed to, and finally degraded, and sold where her condition could not be worse, and where she had not the least hope of ever bettering it.
This case presents the legitimate working of the great chattel principle.
It is no accidental result--it is the fruit of the tree.

You cannot constitute slavery without the chattel principle--and with the chattel principle you cannot save it from these results.

Talk not then about kind and christian masters.
