Not a slave preferring slavery to freedom.

I have paid $120 for the freedom of Paul Jennings--He agrees to work out the sum, at 8 dollars a month, to be [illegible] with board, clothes + washing--to begin when we return from the Lorette--His freedom papers I gave to him; they are recorded in this district.
Did not volunteer to be slave again.
anecdotes are uselessly misleading.
Direct quote by Madison's slave, not an "anecdote". It is the truth. He was there and you were not. How dare you attack Madison's slaves?
This slave wanted freedom. He got it.
Exactly.
James Madison did not free him.
southern states switched because of the benefits of the new deal and a better company.
party realignment Is bs, especially given that 99% of Dixiecrats stayed in their party (dem party)
