Editors' Note: The 19th century was heavily encumbered with white supremacist literature for children, works that warrant study as cultural indicators as well as literary artifacts. Horatio Alger, Jr., a portrayer of African-Americans in an early Civil War novel, hadan unmistakable influence on popular culture, and we see in Hanley Kanar's essay an illuminating treatment of 'this Northern "liberal's" perspective on ex-slaves.
