Excerpt from Thoughts on the Negro Problem
To one who travels through the South, that which seems most needed is the allaying of alarms, the appeasement of irritation, the supersession by other political questions of that constant recurrence to the negro difficulty which harasses men's minds. Could these alarms be removed, and were the negro left to acquiesce in his present exclusion as a temporary evil, which would vanish in a quieter time, things would steadily improve. When he ceased to attempt assertions of his power, the whites would desist from the acts by which his vote is now nulli fied. Such negroes (chiefly the intelligent townsfolk) as did vote would no longer vote in a compact body, but would divide according to their proclivities on the particular issue of the moment. Their votes would come to be courted by the white parties and those parties would in time form and shape themselves without a con stant and dominating reference to the negro question. If a stranger may venture to express his view on a point of domestic politics, I would say that the solidity of the South, so displeasing to many at the North, is more likely to be broken up by letting the negro alone than by agitating for his protection.
