Letter from Memminger on constitutional reform in South Carolina
Hon C G Memminger writes from Quanuusrox March 24 1871 urging a constitutional amendment to change the voters and legislature. He argues the state faces anarchy from corrupt government, racial strife, and debt, and urges a convention to amend qualifications to vote, following Massachusetts precedent, to restore peace and lawful government. He cautions whites and praises emancipation as God driven.
