Excerpt: ... THE RUFFIN PAPERS From Sterling Ruffin.1 My dear bon Brunswick va. 5th May 1803. Your letter inclosing sundry receipts came safe to hand in due time, with its contents I was much pleas'd; first, because it was much better dictated than ordinary, secondly, as it was well spell'd, thirdly as there were few omission or interlineations and fourthly as it contain'd a promise to be very assiduous. Let me advise my Son to be not only attentive to your books, but particularly so to your manners. A man may be better read than his neighbor, and yet not acquire half the respect if the other should be more accomodating. Politeness, good humour and charity, (by which I would be understood to mean much more than giving alms to the poor) will all ways as they deserve, obtain respect and friendship. You are now of an age to begin at least to form some opinion of mankind, and the advantages which result to individuals, as well as to society, from a proper demeanor of conduct. By History observation on manners is greatly to be improv'd; it will soon be time for you to commence that most improving study. When my Children will reflect on. the anxious wish which pervades the minds of their most affectionate Parents for their future (both temporal and Eternal) welfare, surely they will leave nothing undone which may tend to their own happiness, and thereby lessen the pang which arises from fear, doubt and a thousand nameless tremors which vibrate on the aching Heart of Paternal affection. I reed, a letter from your Sister since you went from here; she desires me to inform you that your letter had come to hand, and that she would have answer'd it long since, but that she did not know how to direct. I have given her your address, and no doubt but you will receive one soon. From ...
Many Excellent People examines the nature of North Carolina's social system, particularly race and class relations, power, and inequality, during the last half of the nineteenth century. Paul Escott portrays North Carolina's major social groups, focusing on the elite, the ordinary white farmers or workers, and the blacks, and analyzes their attitudes, social structure, and power relationships. Quoting frequently from a remarkable array of letters, journals, diaries, and other primary sources, he shows vividly the impact of the Civil War, Emancipation, Reconstruction, Populism, and the rise of the New South industrialism on southern society. Working within the new social history and using detailed analyses of five representative counties, wartime violence, Ku Klux Klan membership, stock-law legislation, and textile mill records, Escott reaches telling conclusions on the interplay of race, class, and politics. Despite fundamental political and economic reforms, Escott argues, North Carolina's social system remained as hierarchical and undemocratic in 1900 as it had been in 1850.
