The colored man, too, in seeing all united for him, is inspired with vigilance, and energy, and daring, to the same end. Grant that he desires the elective franchise, will he not attain it sooner by saving the already advanced steps toward it than by running backward over them?
Page xii - I have often inquired of myself what great principle or idea it was that kept this Confederacy so long together.
