Eye opening letter shows white farmers split over third party
A Sumter county farmer urges whites to resist a People's Party in Georgia politics, recounting a meeting at Freedman Hill where several black Republicans led by Elbert Harney shaped the event. White attendees voiced concerns, noting the coalition would draw white votes away from Democrats. The Sumter Democratic executive committee failed to form a quorum and adjourned, with talk of adding a subcommittee to ensure future meetings.
