Slavery (on Thursdays)

[Rahul]

All I asked was for him to state his sources, otherwise he should't be commenting out of his posterior. You have a problem with that?

Commenting out of my posterior? heh. What a polite way of putting it.

The use of the term servant does not mean that the college servants were not slaves, because antebellum southerners often referred to their household slaves as servants and to the slaves who worked in their yards, gardens, and fields as hands. Many, if not all, of the college servants who worked for the university prior to 1863 were slaves.
