Apostles of Racism

 Lincoln 3

If the modern historical narrative is to be believed, then the antebellum North was the happy land of butterflies, flowers, rainbows, and racist free Americans who insisted on racial equality. Only in the South did anyone encounter “Apostles of Racism” as the historian Charles Dew labeled the 1861 Confederate commissioners to other Southern States. But was this so? Would antebellum Southerners have had to convince the majority of antebellum Northerners about their racial positions? Let’s see. Printed below are a small sample of the racial positions of several prominent Americans in the 1850s and 1860s.

Who said the following (answers at the bottom of the quiz)?

  1. It's not guns; it's gangs. It has been gangs the whole time and for years. But,
    they don't want to deal with gangs. The gangs have been growing and growing
    with no take-downs. They know who they are. This is pitiful:
