Voudou Charms and Orgiasitie Among New Citizens
The passage condemns Voudou practices among southern freedpeople, depicting priesthood charms, late night dances, and drunken revels as a lingering superstition. It questions the perceived degradation of such rites versus other ethnic rituals and hints at concern from Christian Congressmen about racial and religious influence.
