Hepworth on Reconstruction and Racial Alienation in 1899
In Americus on May 24 1899 Dr Hepworth argues the root of postwar trouble lies with the 15th Amendment and Northern policy. He blames secret loyal leagues under Freedmen's Bureau and military oversight for transforming freedpeople into a voting bloc and eroding trust between races. He contends the North sought to build a black party, alienating whites and fueling distrust. He notes Macon Evening News sale talk and local carnival plans amid subscription shifts.
