The Lesson of Virginia for North Carolina Republicans
The Wilmington Post argues the Virginia GOP defeat shows the need for strict discipline in the South. It blames slander and weak leadership for voter shifts among Black and other voters, calls for removing dissidents, and warns North Carolina Republicans to purge divisionists to avoid another Confederate era Democratic strength. It presses that stubborn discipline and suppression of intraparty rivals are essential to protect party unity and progress for freedmen.
