|
In the South they are
|
| cool | fiery |
| sober | voluptuary |
| laborious | indolent |
| persevering | unsteady |
| independant [sic] | independant [sic] |
| jealous of their own liberties, and just to those of others | zealous for their own liberties, but trampling on those of others. |
| interested | generous |
| chicaning | candid |
| superstitious and hypocritical in their religion | without attachment or pretensions to any religion but that of the heart. |
