[Footnote 190: New York Nation, November 30, 1865.]

[Footnote 191: The cotton when ginned should have weighed between one third and one quarter as much as it weighed before ginning. See p. 236.]

[Footnote 192: In one of his letters to the Nation (December 14), Dennett quotes Richard Soule as saying that he thought the past four years had encouraged and confirmed the faults of the negro. "Demoralized on the negro question," therefore, seems to mean, not that Richard Soule and F. H. were finding the negro worse than they had thought him, but that they considered that present conditions were rapidly making him worse.]

[Footnote 193: General Saxton was Assistant Commissioner for South Carolina under the Freedmen's Bureau.]

[Footnote 194: Reuben Tomlinson had been made State Superintendent of Education.]

[Footnote 195: The Union Store was finished, stocked, and operated, but its life was brief. From the first, its vitality was sapped by the claim of the stockholders to unlimited credit; then a dishonest treasurer struck the death-blow.]

[Footnote 196: See p. 312.]

[Footnote 197: This was Grant's famous "car-window" report, in which he stated his belief that "the mass of thieving men at the South accept the situation in good faith."]

[Footnote 198: Mr. Waters bought Cherry Hill and lived there for a short time.]

[Footnote 199: "Corner" was the Captain John Fripp place.]

[Footnote 200: At the auction referred to, the Government offered for sale the plantations which had been reserved for the support of schools.]

[Footnote 201: A negro who worked a plantation "on shares" was independent of the owner, merely paying a rent in cotton.]

[Footnote 202: Afterwards used as the nucleus of Slave Songs of the United States.]

[Footnote 203: Before the war.]

[Footnote 204: Rose had been living with H. W. in the North, and was now at Port Royal with her, also on a visit.]

[Footnote 205: General Bennett was managing Coffin's for the owner, who had bought it of Mr. Philbrick.]
