Description
This was written as a beginning study of the relationships between
blacks and poor whites during Reconstruction. The heritage of
slavery is discussed as a prerequisite for understanding later developments. A brief synopsis of Reconstruction is included. The last
chapters concern the actual relations between blacks and poor whites.
Reasons for the inability of these two groups to ally and cooperate lie
in the low opinion each had for the other and the inability of poor
whites to allow the Negro a measure of equality. For the poor white
the Negro was too much a threat as an equal. As a result violence,
intimidation and suppression were practiced by poor whites against
blacks and their white Republican allies, until the South was finally
redeemed by white Democrats and southern demagogues.
