Uncontrollable or insane impulsion to wander. So that was the problem. It wasnt they disliked being enslaved or yearned for freedom and basic humanity, no, no, the problem according to Samuel Cartwright was that black people as a group were inherently defective. They were maniacs, always running away. Thats what he said. 107 years later it is embarrassing to repeat something this stupid out loud. So obviously insane. E. But heres what you should know. It was taken very seriously at the time and so was Samuel Cartwright. Cartwright was not a french character at all. He was a nationally prominent physician, a highranking officer from fairfax, virginia, he went to penn medical school. Ro he was a credentialed man of science, a man who commanded the respect of the country. 50 years after the civil war, one of this nations leading medical dictionaries continued an entry for this. So with retrospect, we would call Samuel Cartwright a bigot, which He Undoubtably was. But he was more than that
