UP FROM SLAVERY (Chapter 12) by Booker T. Washington
If the institution had been officered by white persons, and had failed, it would have injured the cause of Negro education; but I knew that the failure of our institution, officered by Negroes, would not only mean the loss of a school, but would cause people, in a large degree, to lose faith in the ability of the entire race. The receipt of this draft for ten thousand dollars, under all these circumstances, partially lifted a burden that had been pressing down upon me for days.
UP FROM SLAVERY (Chapter 11) by Booker T. Washington
He cherished no bitterness against the South.... In all my acquaintance with General Armstrong I never heard him speak, in public or in private, a single bitter word against the white man in the South. ...great men cultivate love, and that only little men cherish a spirit of hatred.

The-Mis-education-Of-The-Negro (chapter 9) by Dr. Carter G. Woodson
Having the stamp of science, the thought of these polemics was accepted in all seats of learning. These rewriters of history fearlessly contended that slavery was a benevolent institution: the masters loved their slaves and treated them humanely; the abolitionists meddled with the institution which the masters would have eventually modified: the Civil War brought about by "fanatics" like William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown was unnecessary; ..."
