352. ANCESTORS, Practices of.—
I am
not bigotted to the practices of our forefathers.
It is that bigotry which keeps the
Indians in a state of barbarism in the midst
of the arts, would have kept us in the same
state even now, and still keeps Connecticut
where their ancestors were when they landed
on these shores.—
To Robert Fulton. Washington ed. v, 516.
