America for Americans blames post on South and calls for race purity
A 1809 letter to the editor urges readers to remember America as “The White Maned Country,” insists foreigners must not govern, and proposes returning African descendants to Africa. The writer quotes Bishop Turner, advocates harsher punishments for rape, and cites biblical authority to justify burning or stoning crimes. The piece blends racist backlash with religious zeal, mixing abolition era rhetoric with violent, exclusionary aims.

Zandeh Chiefs of Sudan Ancestry and Ruling Style
The Zandeh chiefs in Sudan form a hereditary aristocracy ruling with iron discipline and sound judgment. Though ignorant of civilization until 1858, they prove capable administrators. Semio and Rafai cited as examples. They trace pedigrees to James I, with up to thirteen generations, and total known names reach 177. They are a high caste ruling race in central Africa, copper colored, not negroes, with occasional blue eyes or pale features noted. Fortnightly Review.
