Decline of Democratic Restoration Debated in Harper’s Weekly
Harper’s Weekly argues three months after elections that the Democratic party shows a new spirit or remains the old pro-slavery faction. It cites ex Confederates in Congress, southern state majorities, and attacks on Republican policies including Reconstruction, schooling, and civil rights. It warns 1876 victory could revive Copperhead influence, urges firm Republican unity and principled leadership.
