Reconstruction and the political stake in 1868
A mid 19th century reflection argues Reconstruction will be decided by rebel states this winter or in the 1868 presidential election. It links negro suffrage issues to the Democratic party, cites editorials from the Nashville Press and Times and New York Express, and satirizes Johnson’s stance while praising Republican unity and Loyalist actions.
