The Negro And The Intelligence And Property Franchise (1900)

By William Alexander MacCorkle

Book Overview

""The Negro and the Intelligence and Property Franchise"" is a book written by William Alexander MacCorkle and published in 1900. The book explores the issue of voting rights for African Americans in the United States during the post-Civil War era. MacCorkle argues that the right to vote should be based on intelligence and property ownership rather than race, and he presents a detailed analysis of the history of voting rights in the United States. He also discusses the impact of the 15th Amendment, which granted African American men the right to vote, and the various methods used to disenfranchise them. MacCorkle's book is a significant historical document that sheds light on the complex and contentious issue of voting rights in the United States during a critical period in the country's history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
