Excerpt from Famous Affinities of History, Vol. 3 of 4: The Romance of Devotion It is odd enough to read, in the chronicles of those days, that amid all this suffering and squalor there was drawn a strict line between the quality and those who had no claim to be patricians. The quality was made up of such emigrants as came from the more civilized East, or who had slaves, or who dragged with them some rickety vehicle with carriage-horses - however gaunt the animals might be. All others - those who had no slaves or horses, and no traditions of the older states - were classed as poor whites; and they accepted their mediocrity without a murmur.
