There were many others among
the Freedmen, both in, and outside of,
our schools whose peculiarities and
abilities would make an interesting study,
but as I cannot do justice to all in this way,
I think the few I have mentioned are quite
sufficient to show that there was as much
variety of character and ability among these
people, as among the more favored race of whites
Of course the training they had received under
different masters developed or repressed their
natural traits but Nature never wholly looses
her grasp, and glimpses of the man or woman
who might have been developed were often
apparent.
