Although commonly portrayed as one of the largest mob attacks on blacks by white racists during Reconstruction, the so-called 1874 Battle of Liberty Place in New Orleans was really a conflict between the militias of two competing state governments.
The story begins in 1868 with the election of Carpetbagger Henry Warmoth as Louisiana’s first elected Republican governor. To ensure future Republican victories at the polls, in 1870 his legislature established a five-man Election Returning Board, which had final authority to determine the outcome of all major elections. It is perhaps the most egregious example of how Reconstruction-era Republican Puppet Regimes used control of the election machinery to force their will on the people.

ReplyDeleteI humbly request that one put aside their Southern sentiments so they may more able mount a decisive front to extinguish the communist filth which has presently infected our nation. At this point, the notherner and Southerner are brothers in arms. Let us combat that foreign degradation of all civil societies unto it's very end.
Thanks.
