1330 - L. May 26; ed: 2/3 - The Cincinnati GAZETTE correspondent gives an
account of a very chivalrous sight which he saw in Tennessee. Ten colored
women were in a field, plowing and hoeing, while further on two colored
women and a boy were working. These groups were directed in their labor
by two white men. "We would not hesitate to risk our life, that if these
two brutes were living in the North, they would represent the quintessence
of Copperheadism." (3)
