Wilse Graham is reluctant to answer Ellen’s question about slavery becoming more of a "festerin’ hurt" each year, and whether or not we "hev to make a move against it." How does the author reveal that Wilse feels in his heart that slavery is wrong, even though he defends it as an economic necessity?

The author reveal that Wilse feels in his heart that slavery is wrong, even though he defends it as an economic necessity, by showing that the question makes Wilse unable to continue eating, and he admitted that he has no justification to offer to his maker for being master over another man.

Explanation:

Wilse Graham tries to dodge answering Ellen's question, and that in itself is proof that he has conflicting emotions about the topic.

When John pressed him about it his reaction of his food after Ellen asked the question, and the answer he finally gives reveals that he feels slavery is wrong even though it is important to the economy.

The author made the revelation with these lines:

'Wilse hesitated a moment, his eyes on the plate of food, which he had barely touched during the last few  minutes. "I'll say this to you, Cousin John," he said finally. "I own a few slaves, and if I stood before my  Maker alongside one of em, I'd hev no way to justify the fact that I was master and he was slave.'

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
