Description
Races and Immigrants in America is a Book of Political Science. The book says " All men are created equal" So wrote Thomas Jefferson, and so agreed with him the delegates from the American colonies. But we must not press them too closely nor insist on the literal interpretation of their words. They were not publishing a scientific treatise on himian nature nor describing the physical, intellectual, and moral qualities of different races and different individuals, but they were bent upon a practical object in politics.
