.. Infants eleven months old were also sold at public auction. The importing states were Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi. 459 JEFFERSON (11826) thought that the Romans could emancipate their slaves by one effort; made free the slave could mix without staining the blood of his master. "But with us a second is necessary, unknown to history. When freed, he is to be removed beyond the reach of mixture." (i. e., to be deported). He advocated emancipation with immediate deportation of the freed slaves to territories not part of future American territorial expansion. MADISON and LINCOLN had the same views. Cf. SANDBURG, C. (1953): Abraham Lincoln: The prairie Years, N. Y. 316-317. See also WAITZ 1. c. footn. 30, vol. 2., 286-7: "Diese englische Neger-Emancipation wird zu allen Zeiten als eine der grossartigsten moralischen, nationaleconomischen, und politischen Tĥorheiten dastehen, welche die Culturgeschichte aufzuweisen hat", since the mass of freed men was unprepared for it, and suddenly lost employment. 460 The U. S. became a real laboratory for socialistic, communistic, utopistic, and religious fanatism was not strong enough to hold such communities together. They included Moravians, quakers, dunkers, shakers, Memnonites, the fourierists, the owenites, etc. Cf. NORDHOFF, C. (1875): Communistic societies of the U. S., N. Y., also BROWNE, C. A. (1936): Scientific Month, 42:483-97. 461 The Rappist settlement, the Zoar community, the shakers. 462 Oneida was founded in 1848 by John Humphrey NOYES who published his "Essay on scientific propagation" in 1875. He held that marriage is an absolute bar to scientific propagation, because it restricts each man, whatever may be his potency and his value, to the amount of production of which one woman, chosen blindly, may be capable. Cf. also PARKER, R. A. (1935): A Yankee Saint, N. Y. 463 The District Attorney of New York indicated NOYES with a statutory offense. His son,Theodore NOYES, became a physician, and wrote a report on the health of children in the Oneida community (N. Y., 1878). 464 See also SCOTT 1. c. footn. 150, 83.—JOHNSON, R. H. (1928): Eugenics, 1. No. 2, 5-8. states that in mormonism the eugenic situation is better than in other cults because the Church made a definite effort to teach better mate selection. However, their relief societies work in a kakogenic direction (welfare or morons, feebleminded, and defectives). 465 LAQUER, B. H. (1914): Eugenik and Dysgenik, Wiesbaden, p. 44, collected many new notices on such experiments. In New York, in the church of "The New Thought" a couple married purely on "eugenic" grounds. 466 Cf. MATIEGKA 1. c. footn. 372. Race extinction includes 1.) absolute direct disappearance of races as a result partly of natural selective forces (wars, extermination, epidemics), partly of population restriction (abortion, infanticide, gerontocide); 2.) comparative depopulation in a non-homogeneous group due to differential rater (birth, death) of the component members; 3.) in civilized nations, which are actually racial conglomerates, race miscegenation, panmixia, hybridization. 467 Claude LÉVI-STRAUSS, eminent French anthropologist, expressed the need to study existing but little known cultures before they disappear. The U. S. National Geographic Society lists 31 vanishing peoples, such as eskimoes, Mohawks, Seminoles, Hopis, Lapps, Veddas, Ainus, etc. Cf. NAT. GEOGR; SOC. (1968): Vanishing Peoples, Wash.—It is described how the very last Yahi Indian emerged in California from hiding in 1911, and remained a living specimen in the Museum of Anthropology until 1916 when he died from tuberculosis. 468 E. g., the He ¡ es, Ourartous, Naharainas, Khatis, Arameics, Amorites, Phoenicians, Assyrians, Khaldeans, the Medes, Scythes, and many more listed in any world history. 469 Cf. BROCA, P. (1864): On the Phenomena of Hybridity. London, on p. 11 (footnote 1) he mentions several American races which have been destroyed within the past 300 years, others were reduced to a few families. In 1835, after horrible massacre, the English of Van Diemen's Land transported 210 Tasmanians to Flinders Island. In 1842, the number of these exiles was 54. The last Tasmanian died in 1888. Cf. also NAT. GEORG. SOC. Vanishing Peoples, p. I. 470 BERNSTEIN (1970): Washington Post, Nov. 29.: writes on the triracial isolate Brandywine people in Maryland. At least 65-70% of the core families are related. They show a very high proportion of albinism, and the following heritable diseases
