Speech of General Schurz on Reconstruction in Chicago
General Carl Schurz argues Reconstruction policy, contrasts Republican triumphs and Democratic promises, defends federal intervention to rebuild the South, and warns against the dangers of white supremacy and secessionist doctrine. He cites Johnson era policies, Sherman Johnston treaties, and Congress’s military oversight followed by state self rule to secure peace.
