Resolution for investigation of exodus of colored people from the South

A Indiana senator introduced a Senate resolution to form a committee to study why large numbers of Black people left the South. Windom proposed an amendment to examine settling part of the territories for Black residents. Hill argued the issue would resolve itself, noting rising Black schooling and property in several states while denouncing overemphasis on the topic. He cited general coexistence in many states and questioned federal interference. The piece critiques the idea that the national debt of the Confederacy should be paid and urges adherence to the postwar Constitution.
