What is a circleThat the slave is incorporated into and becomes a part of the family, that a tie is thus formed between the master and slave, almost unknown to the relation of master and hireling . . . that the old and infirm are thus cared for, and the young protected and reared, are indisputable facts. Interest joins with affection in promoting this unity of feeling. To the negro, it insures food, fuel, and clothing, medical attendance, and in most cases religious instruction. . . . It provides him with a protector, whose interest and feeling combine in demanding such protection. –Thomas R. R. Cobb, 1858
