Samuel Eliot Morison Quotes:
Ocupation: Historian
Life: July 9, 1887 - May 15, 1976
Birthday: July 9
Death: May 15
The freedmen were not really free in 1865, nor are most of their descendants really free in 1965. Slavery was but one aspect of a race and color problem that is still far from solution here, or anywhere. In America particularly, the grapes of wrath have not yet yielded all their bitter vintage.
