From North to South
F you look at this period of Reconstruction from some points of view, the attitude of those Northern leaders was understandable; and some of the things they tried to do were good. They wanted the negroes to enjoy the privileges to which they were entitled as human beings; and they wanted the highly-conservative social system of the Old South to be liberalised and democratised. Some of these military governments that were’ set up in the South did introduce progressive measures based on Northern examples. The evil of land aggregation was checked to some extent. A great number of small holdings were created. Schools were instituted for the coloured population. Northern capital began constructing factories in the South, particularly for textiles. But unfortunately, whatever good they tried to do was offset by the methods they employed.-("A Survey of American History," Professor Leslie Lipson, 2YA, May 25). ---
