Note 2 — The Penning of the Negro—CHARLES CHAUVEAU COOK

"The Republican party in its work of imposing the sovereignty of the United States upon eight millions of Asiatics, has changed its views in regard to the political relation of races and has at last virtually accepted the ideas of the South upon that subject. The white men of the South need now have no further fear that the Republican party, or Republican administrations, will ever again give themselves over to the vain imagination of the political equality of man." —[Burgess—Reconstruction and the Constitution, page 298.]
