This passage comes from a white coffee planter named P. J. Laborie. He wrote this book to share his expertise with other Britons

about the cultivation of coffee in Jamaica. In order to make the best of the powers of the enslaved African, and to keep him helpless, punishment is unfortunately sometimes necessary. Such also is the case with soldiers, with sailors, and with all servile classes of men. —P. J. Laborie: The Coffee Planter of Saint Domingo, 1798 Why would a historian find this to be a biased source of information? The author was not a slaveholder, but he gives his opinion about slavery. The author employs many different types of people. The passage includes untrue generalizations about groups of people. The author is commenting on other professions, not just coffee planting.

Many historians consider the James K. Polk presidency to be considerably aggressive and/or controversial. How do you rate the pr
Maurinko [17]

James K Polk is one of the historical figures that is really hard to judge by modern standards.

He was a forceful man with strongly held beliefs. He was the last in the line of "Jacksonian Presidents" with all of the baggage that came along with that.

Ultimately, he was a strong war time President. His single term in office led to the short lived Presidency of Zachary Taylor, who was significantly less informed and forceful than Polk. After Polk, the issue of slavery really came to the forefront. Polk was either responsible for delaying the prominence of this issue or just got lucky. It is likely that history would look much differently if Polk had a second term and continued his aggressive posture towards America's future.

I'd say he was a good President, for his time, who strongly acted on the economy and in regards to Mexico but whose record looks abysmal by modern standards and values.
