Wise and the Black Republican label in Virginia debates
Southern papers accuse Gov. Wise of becoming Black Republican for backing free white emigration to settle exhausted Virginian lands. The piece notes rising Black Republicanism, cites Forney Harris and Bjorrt, and argues Wise is hated for favoring slave labor and opposing free labor, linking this to repealing the Missouri Compromise.
