Lloyd George May Fight Opponents To Bitter Finish
In a T. Larry Gantt column, post-Civil War reforms are recalled. Congress sought civil measures like confiscation and a cotton tax worth about sixteen million dollars, struck down by the Supreme Court as unconstitutional. The fund remained idle, debated for years, and then forgotten, with attempts to distribute it fading. Notable figures mentioned include Thad Stevens, cotton buyers like Jim Johnson of Lexington, Ga, and Southern congressmen opposing radical plans. The piece reflects on political battles and missed allocations over the cotton tax.
