Book excerpt: Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the Oakwood Memorial Association, Richmond, Va., May 10, 1911 But the supposed wisdom of man proved in the presence of the Wisdom from on High the folly of human foresight. The Southern States, which during the war had been so near to gaining their independence, were destined in the end to fail. It seems to me it was this same Wisdom from on High that caused the Indians on this continent to be superceded by a superior race; that brought the African barbarian to be taught by the Christian white man, ultimately to result in his enlightenment; and the Christianiz'ation of darkest Africa. Be that as it may, the shackles of bondage are stricken off; the speculations of our wisest publicists have but proved the limits of human foresight.
