Frederick Douglass, who lamented in 1871 that “covert, insidious, [and] secret” hatred continued to exist in the United States and was far harder to defeat than the military rebellion of the South in the Civil War.
Funny how Mr. Douglass was able to separate racist hatred
from the rebellion of the South only a few years after
the surrender....might there be more to this history
than is being taught??
Bump.
I see no separation...only the mention that it was easier to defeat the southern military than defeat the racism of the southern democrat....I’d say Jim Crow laws proved him right.
My best friend as a kid in Alabama was black. Then we moved up to Detroit just in time for the Detroit riots.
