Excerpt from The Basis of Ascendancy: A Discussion of Certain Principles of Public Policy Involved in the Development of the Southern States
For the present volume is an attempt to deal with an issue more general in its nature, but none the less critical in its bearing upon the development of our Southern States. Back of all the issues of the moment, as they may express themselves in this or that phase of definite legislation or of accepted custom, there lies the question of fundamental attitude. Where two social or racial groups a stronger and a weaker find themselves in inevitable contact upon the same soil, what elementary principles shall ultimately de termine the policies of the State? And by the State I here mean no merely artificial political entity, but the local organ and expression of our social responsibility. Shall the principles of its policy, in relation to its weaker racial or social groups, be repressive or constructive?
