Hopeful North South ties marked by Senator Jones
Senator Jones of Florida recently toured the northern states to gauge sentiment and found attitudes toward the South warming. He notes reduced anti-Southern rhetoric, an end to bloody-shirt campaigning, and growing interest in Southern life, resources, and labor markets from northerners and immigrants. The piece ties these observations to expected Democratic gains and calls for cross sectional study to ease barriers between sections. It also reports local political clashes in Albany and a jail arrest in Shackelford County.
