Bloody shirt and exodus in the postwar South
A lengthy critique echoes a Atlantic Monthly article by a Southerner and a Democrat, detailing intimidation of Black people, Ku Klux actions, and emigration pressures. It cites Richmond postmaster appointments, Grant’s protection of a loyalist woman, and North Carolina and Georgia state actions. The piece argues Southern violence and political retaliation drive Black emigration, likening it to Spain’s Jew expulsion.
