But as to the moral value of these results, we must not indulge in any delusions. .. . [T]here is, as yet, among the southern people an utter absence of national feeling. . . .""Aside from the assumption that the Negro will not work without physical compulsion, there appears to be another popular notion... that the Negro exists for the special object of raising cotton, rice and sugar for the whites, and that it is illegitimate for him to indulge, like other people, in the pursuit of his own happiness in his own way." - Carl Schurz, Report on the Condition of the South, 1865The attitudes of White Southerners described by Schurz contributed to what developments in the last quarter of the nineteenth century?

It was Negroes working debt slavery under the whites. Since the whites used them to cultivate to earn more and returned them only in short amounts.
