Note 60 — Chapter VI · THE OLD-TIME NEGRO

As to the education of the Negroes: See Report of U. S. Commissioner of Education, 1901, vol. i, p. 745, et seq., for a valuable paper by Prof. Kelly Miller, one of the most intelligent colored men in the country. Citing the Report of U. S. Commissioner of Education, 1868, he shows that such laws were adopted in Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and South Carolina, about 1830-34. While in Virginia in 1831, as in Delaware in 1863, public meetings were prohibited. These laws grew out of the Nat Turner Insurrection. V. Appendix.
