The same crowd who wants other former Confederate leaders to get off easily also wants Davis to receive a gentle punishment. Northern Republicans question if Davis's living quarters at Fortress Monroe is suitable for a prisoner charged guilty with treason. Government officials are given orders to lock Davis in shackles, and he confesses that he would rather be put to death than put in irons. White Southerners grow concerned as a weaker and older Davis's health starts to deteriorate. Blacks continue to show an increasing resistance to white authority. By banding together, they are less afraid to use the Civil Rights act for bailing innocent friends and family out of prison. There is a rise in criminal action between blacks and whites, triggered by confidence rooted in the Civil Rights act. This sense of fearlessness is reflected by a white schoolteacher and black man who decide to marry in Tennessee. A fully black jury finds a white man guilty of stealing belongings of a black man. They agree he should be given lashes on the back for his punishment. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound A great excitement was created among the adherents of the negro bureau in Mobile a few days ago by the marriage in that city of a former slave of General Beauregard's to a white woman by the name of Jones, and a teacher of the freedmen. The couple have left for the home of the woman's parents in the north, where there will doubtless be a great jubilee over this manifestation of civil rights when the pair arrive. As the unfortuuate female's parents were doubtless abolitionists, and are now in the Radical faith, they cannot but be rejoiced at the progress that has been made by their docile offspring. But, seriously, this case presents the light of a public affront, and comes under the laws of Alabama that declare miscegenation a penitentiary offence.
