Draining the Black Majority

Each time hope sprouted, soon after came the scythe. Clara Barton, in her final address to South Carolinians upon her departure from the Lowcountry, pointed to the roiling politics of the state that had so inflected the recovery effort:

I realize the throes of internal dissension which are rocking you from centre to circumference.… I see how impossible it will seem to you to take note of any lesser matter till this seething bubbling pot of political discord is still; and yet, brothers and sisters, it will be for your credit that you turn a single glance at this little strip of misery, degradation and want hedging you like a sea wall, and take some concerted, and elevated step to wipe the spot out. Don’t let politics touch it, they have had enough to do with it already, but give the reins of thought and action for one day to a little humanitarian effort.¹
