General Cox Responds to Flatly Supportive Framing Letter
The correspondence from Oberlin dated July 2 1865 shows a Union Party inquiry about Cox's stance on universal suffrage for colored people. Cox replies that he supports the elective franchise for colored men and urges unity in the party, warning against excluding freedmen from voting and predicting political and social upheaval if constitutional restrictions persist.
