Golden cover with black imprint, "Alabama WILL NOT SUBMIT to NEGRO RULE." VG. This cover dates from the 1868 presidential election, an election in which Southern leaders called for the repeal of the thirteenth amendment and a return to the old Constitution. The Democrats criticized the Republican Reconstruction policies, and "campaigned explicitly on an anti-black, pro-white platform," In essence, this cover illustrates the commitment of Southerners midway between the War and the end of the century to an explicitly white supremacist model of reconstruction.
