                <text>Bills concerning the rights of freedmen continue to circulate through the two Houses as Radicals look to expand the rights of African Americans. White southerners feel disfranchised as new legislation in Congress extends the right of suffrage to all "loyal" men irrespective of color. Southerners feel they are targeted by the northerners in power who simply look to degrade their rights while promoting African American rights. Anger towards African Americans comes to the surface as altercations between white southerners and African Americans continue to enrage both communities. Tensions between the two races grow as African Americans voice their frustration with their treatment and Southern states try to deny the progress of reconstruction.</text>

            <text>Among the papers left by the late Henry Winter Davis is a speech, in his own handwriting, in which he argues, with masterly ability, the necessity of granting unrestricted suffrage for all loyal men, both black and white, at the South. He claims there can be no encouragement for loyalty or peace in the country until the nation accepts this doctrine. The speech will soon be given to the public - New York Tribune</text>
