This paper discusses the 'Southern Negro." The Negro, the slave is not to be forgotten is the message America has always received . In the 1920s, the Negro was respected yet exalted for his way. He was mistreated by many, used, left to the cold, working his fingers to the bone. But by the same token, he was thought of to be honest, loyal, hard working, easy to please" perhaps that was the reason for his place in slavery all along. Slaves were not taught to use their minds, but their hands that would bring them the happiness they so desired. The simple truth is: Slaves didn't know how to be anything but slaves. But were the Negro's happy being slaves? Facts from the 1920s would have us believing so. If given the chance, would the slave choose to live a different life. The South was the South because of slavery" the slaves knew this, too. For the Negro slave, tomorrow held no concern for him" the past was forgotten. The slave knew the South needed him" he heard the call and answered it. It has been said that the anatomy of a Negro is different than that of a white man. Many fought for the truth, "All men are created equal" but kept slaves at work for there own betterment. The Negro slaves were always loyal to their owner" often taking on their owner's name. Was this a part of the slavery? Or rather, a choice.
