Why Southern Leaders Back Greeley for President
A dated critique argues Southern figures like Beauregard and Wade Hampton back Horace Greeley to restore Democratic power, secure possible emancipation payoffs, and enable a Southern return to prewar conditions. It warns Greeley could support secession, grant compensation for emancipated slaves, and shape a pro-Democratic Congress with Southern influence, undermining constitutional limits.

Blair the reformer questioned on pay and pledges
A Jackson letter from July 17 1872 questions Blair about reform rhetoric versus actions in Congress. It recalls 1858 pay increases for lawmakers and Blair’s private opposition to Howard, then asks if Blair’s later votes and pledges align with his public reform claims and franking privilege repeal stance. The writer seeks explanation in a forthcoming Democratic speech.
