Address to the Soldiers of the Late War from Cedar Rapids Times
A long excerpted address to soldiers urges civil rights and universal suffrage, arguing governments exist to secure human rights for all, regardless of color or birth. It presses voters to support equal protection, read and vote wisely, and ends with a call to erase the word white from the Constitution alongside reflections on emancipation and civic duty.
