Southern slaveholders in the 19th century pride themselves on their paternalism and how they care for their slaves which they contrast with the plight of the Northern workforce. If asked whether or not white and black people could ever live together on any terms of equality the answer is usually "no." Life as a slave is harsh, from whatever angle it is viewed, its violence having an unrecognized impact on whites responsible for the brutality as well as their black victims. As historian Ira Berlin observes "Trying to understand how our deepest nightmare is the source of some of our richest and most creative culture is very challenging for all of us to understand."
