He called slavery cruel but included 25 slaves in his daughter's dowry, took enslaved children to market and had 10-year-old slaves working 12-hour days in his nail factory. He stated that blacks were "in reason inferior" and "in imagination they are dull, tasteless and anomalous. "Were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter." "History, in general, only informs us what bad government is."  (AP, 4/13/97)(SFC,12/897, p.A27)(AP, 4/13/98)		Colonial Era Timeline
