Fearful debate on arming Southern Freedmen bill
A wartime style Senate session heard Senator Wilson defend arming Southern freedmen as a security measure amid warnings from Louisiana veterans about 30,000 negroes outside New Orleans already angered by the Freedmen's Bureau. Opponents urged prudence, fearing violence and carpetbagger backlash. The tariff, Cushing's whereabouts, Grant cabinet issues, and war expenditures also dominated the day.
