Excerpt from What Is the Situation Now?: A Review of Political Affairs in the Southern States
In the year 1890 there was published by R. H. Woodward & Company, of Baltimore, a book emitted, "Why the Solid South? or Reconstruction and its Results." Hilary A. Herbert, of Alabama, now secretary of the navy, is its compiler and most conspicuous contributor. The object of the book, as stated by Mr. Herbert in the preface, is, "to show to the public and more especially to those business men of the North who have made investments in the South, or who have trade relations with their southern fellow-citizens, the consequences which once followed an interference in the domestic affairs of certain States by those who either did not understand the situation or were reckless of results;" and reconstruction is successively treated of at Washington and in the States of Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana.
Mr. Herbert writes the articles upon reconstruction at Washington, and in the State of Alabama, and the concluding chapter of the book - a contribution that he terms, "Sunrise."
