The election resulted in a ringing victory for the Radicals... Instead of seeing the handwriting on the wall in this Radical success, the Southern planters proceeded to provoke the situation further by rejecting with overwhelming votes in all the Southern States the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted the franchise to Negroes. (W. Foster, ‘The Negro People in American History’, ch. 28) — Выборы принесли решительную победу радикалам... Вместо того чтобы увидеть в победе радикалов приговор себе, плантаторы Юга продолжали обострять обстановку, отвергнув подавляющим большинством голосов четырнадцатую поправку, которая предоставляла избирательные права неграм.

Зловещие тучи сгущались, и наконец, как и предсказывала горстка дальновидных людей, бешеные псы войны были спущены на мир.
