COMMUNICATIONS

The correspondence of the editor often has an historical value as the
following communications will show:

February 13, 1922.

_Dear Dr. Woodson:_

Your JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY has been so full of good material
that I hesitate to call attention to two things in the last
(January) number that seem unsuitable.

The first is the leading article on Slave Society on the Southern
Society. For more than thirty years I have been combating with
all my might the theory of slave-holding sovereignty set forth in
that article. It is the essentially Southern view--a magnified
view and an unreal view. The article is practically a mild form
of the panegyric of the slave plantation which has been the stock
in trade of defenders of slavery for a hundred years.

The reasons for slavery given on pages 1 and 2 do not accord with
the facts, and if they were true would have minimized the
protests against slavery, past and present. It is ridiculous to
say that white men endanger their lives by working in the South
when you consider
