The Philosophy Of Negro Suffrage (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163760406)

The Philosophy of Negro Suffrage is a book written by Jerome R. Riley that explores the history and philosophy behind the struggle for African American voting rights in the United States. The book delves into the various arguments made by both supporters and opponents of Negro suffrage, including the belief that African Americans were intellectually inferior and therefore not capable of responsible citizenship. Riley examines the role of race in American politics, tracing the evolution of attitudes towards African American voting rights from the early days of the republic to the Reconstruction era and beyond. He also explores the various strategies employed by African American activists in their fight for suffrage, including legal challenges, civil disobedience, and political organizing. The Philosophy of Negro Suffrage provides a detailed and thought-provoking analysis of one of the most important issues in American political history, shedding light on the complex and often contradictory forces that have shaped the struggle for racial equality in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
