Its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests upon the great truth, that THE NEGRO IS NOT EQUAL TO THE WHITE MAN; that SLAVERY - SUBORDINATION TO THE SUPERIOR RACE, IS HIS NATURAL CONDITION. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, NASED UPON THIS GREAT PHYSICAL, PSYCHOLOGICAL, AND MORAL TRUTH. -Alexander Stephens, Vice President of the Confederate States
