This is the picture of a Southerner who abuses the North: He toils not, neither does he spin.
Swaddled at birth in a Northern blanket, cutting his teeth on a Northern gum-ring, solacing his sweet tooth on Northern candies, learning his letters from a Northern book, educated at a Northern college, learning his gentility and acquiring all his refinements in Northern social circles — he still looks upon the North as a foreign country, a region altogether plebeian and uncivilized, because it has neither cotton nor niggers.--Boston Saturday Gazette, June 22.
Van Nostrand. New York, New York. 1862.
