Southern Slavery As It Wasn't
By Sean M. Quinlan, Ph.D., and William L. Ramsey, Ph.D.

" '[W]ith the use of the word ni**er, it is important for us to remember the mutable nature of human language. What today constitutes a gross insult did not have the same connotations a century ago.' So conclude Douglas Wilson and Steve Wilkins in Southern Slavery, As It Was, a short 'monograph' of thirty-nine pages that defends racial slavery and claims its abolition is the primary cause of 'abortion, feminism, and sodomy.' According to Wilson and Wilkins, 'the remedy which has been applied' — that is, emancipation — “has been far worse than the disease ever was.'

"Against an overwhelming mainstream, conservative historical consensus that has documented the abuses and evils occasioned by southern slavery, Wilson and Wilkins make the astonishing claim that an 'accurate representation of the nature of Southern slavery has yet to be widely disseminated.' In their eyes, “a great deal of falsehood” has been 'paraded about in the pretense of truth.' The South remains 'stigmatized and slandered, while 'generations have been misled' over the 'true nature of slavery.' Slavery, they say, is not an abomination
