The marks of the " peculiar institution" were still largely impressed upon Southern society.

“特殊制度”的印记在很大程度上仍然给南方社会留下了深刻的印象。

Those who read this book may form their own opinions of the " peculiar institution."

读过这本书的人可能会对“特殊机构”形成自己的看法。

There were many women, which was easily accounted for by the " peculiar institution" of the Mormons;but it must not be supposed that all the Mormons are polygamists.

The southern states would not have signed the Constitution without protections for the “peculiar institution, ” including a clause that counted a slave as three fifths of a man for purposes of congressional representation.

如果没有对于这种" 特殊制度" 的保护，南方各州不会同意签署宪法。这种特殊的制度保护包括：在国会代表人数中一个奴隶可以算作五分之三个公民。
