Carl Schurz made a notable speech on the subject, and though his proposals were more liberal than the majority was willing to adopt, the debate shuthern leader in the progress of nationalization was Henry W. Grady, of Georgia. His father, a Confederate soldier on the staff of General Gordon, met his death at Petersburg in the attack on Fort Stedman only two weeks before the surrender at Appomattox.
