April 29, 1859
From the Boston Traveler, a notice that during 1858, in Boston, nine colored males married to white women, the same number as in 1857. “There is not an instance reported of the marriage of a white man with a black woman.” Following this article, is a rant from the National Democrat, saying that any white woman who would marry a negro, “must be among the lowest and most degraded of her sex.” Then there is a rant against the editor of the Democrat, from the Cleveland Leader.
