Note 531 — Chapter II · GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF SLAVERY.
Reading edition
Tromp and Macdonald, describing the Caffres in general, make no mention of slavery531. Waitz remarks: “The poor join the rich as their “children”, live in servitude, and are often exposed to heavy oppression and arbitrary treatment; but they are not slaves in the true sense: slavery proper does not exist.” “The conquered are not enslaved, the conqueror requires only subjection; whereas often the object of their wars is the capturing of cattle rather than of men”532.
