William Hepworth Dixon, White Conquest: Volume 2, Chapter 14: Charleston. (search)
egroes have the common feeling of attachment to the places of their birth. Most of us thought a bargain might be struck. You tried the scheme-? Yes; Captain Dawson, one of our shrewdest citizens, started on a mission to the Negroes, who received him well and listened to his words. Hie told them, very truly, that White nk or swim with her; and he asked them whether they would not do well to pull together, instead of pulling against each other? Yes, they thought that very true. Dawson then showed them that White men have nothing to say against Negroes choosing their own rulers where they have a clear majority; but he told them that the White me mutinies are not unlikely to occur. If Chamberlain disbands his Negro troops, he will be forced to lean more and more on White support. Such compromises as those of Russell, Trenholm, and Dawson, are the true secrets of statesmanship; and this Conservative success in Charleston is a happy augury for every section of the South.
