Description

In this series of essays on the race relations between Whites and Blacks in the South both before and after the War Between the States, the author demonstrates the undeniable harm that came to both races as a result of the interference of the Northern Abolitionists in Southern affairs and the premature emancipation of four million slaves and their elevation to a political status for which they were completely unprepared. Page also includes an historical outline of the barbaric history of Negro Africa and the dismal failure of the Black republics of Liberia and Haiti, and predicts dire results for America should this country ever become Africanized. And yet, at the same time, he calls for a humane treatment of the American Negro on the part of the dominant White race, and a renewed effort on the part of the Southern people in particular to seek his betterment, pointing out that the Black man was not directly responsible for the woes brought upon the South during the War Between the States and Reconstruction.
