Yankee Politics
In Response To: Re: Loss of Citizenship ()

The economic ruin of the South, followed by the subjuation politics of Reconstruction and the Freedmen's Bureau, pitted Southern whites against blacks for the benefit of Unionists and carpetbaggers. Yankees and Unionists Never accepted their responsibility for this mess and revisionist history books will never acknowledge it. That earlier post about the Confederadoes illustrated a possible scenario for assimilation. Doyle's cousin Dick Taylor and many other former Southern leaders proposed educating black people prior to granting them sufferage. It was the Republicans and yankees that peed in the soup and spoiled the chance for peaceful assimilation of freed black people into American society. Following the War of Northern Aggression, they still had Black Codes in force so they did not have a problem.

Here is what Doyle's cousin had to say about them:
"The leaders of the radical masses of the North have indicted such countless and cruel wrongs on the Southern people as to forbid any hope of disposition or ability to forgive their victims; and the land will have no rest until the last of these persecutors has passed into oblivion"

BTW, Richard Taylor's book was first published in 1878.
