10. William E. Chandler, “Our Southern Masters,” Forum (July 1888): 508-20.

Response to Wade Hampton’s earlier article in Forum, in which Hampton predicted disaster for the South if African Americans are allowed to gain a political superiority. The author begins by alleging that “The political control of the United States is now in the hands of a southern oligarchy as persistent and unrelenting as was that which plunged the nation into the slave-holders’ rebellion.”
