The Slave Trade Slavery and Color.

First edition, first printing. An As New copy. In this book, Theodore Dehon Jervey, South Carolina attorney, judge, historian, and journalist, offered a radical and racist solution to “The Negro Problem” —encourage the African-American population of his state to leave. Jervey believed the state’s populations of poor whites and Blacks were beyond help. In time, he turned to idealize European colonialism; openly admiring the racial views of the Boers’ in South Africa and through his readings of Stanley’s In Darkest Africa, Jervey he believe he found evidence of the evils of interracial unions.

Holden—“Jervey’s views on the removal of the state’s black population mixed traditional white southern fears of miscegenation with an awareness of a European imperialism that increasingly used racial justifications for colonial aggression. For Jervey, fewer numbers of the ‘inferior race’ would mean simply fewer opportunities for interracial sex.” (pp82–83)
