They elucidate his political philosophy and visions; his advice to blacks on how best to maximize the benefits of their newly acquired citizenship rights; his ambivalent views on black political rights; his controversial stand on social equality; his scathing rebuke of black political aspirations and demands; and insistence that blacks attained some pre-qualification before aspiring for certain political positions. The documents also underscore the conflicting reactions of contemporaries to Delany’s controversial and at times provocative critiques of Radical Reconstruction. Ultimately, his advocacy of compromise, accommodation and racial reconciliation alienated him from the ruling radical Republican Party, prompting his decision to switch party allegiance and join the Democratic Party. The documents represent the conflicts Delany’s ideas provoked and the essential pragmatism of his thoughts.","PeriodicalId":434769,"journal":{"name":"Martin R.

The documents expound on the circumstances leading to Delany’s brief alliance with South Carolina State Conservatives, Independents and Ex-Confederates. The alliance symbolized the utilitarian and conflicted nature of his political thought. The documents highlight as well Delany’s political and social conservatism and rationale for the decision to switch to the conservative Democratic Party. They attest to his commitment to racial cooperation, compromise and belief that severing ties with the Radical Republicans, deemphasizing social equality, and embracing the Democratic Party would advance the interests of blacks.","PeriodicalId":434769,"journal":{"name":"Martin R.

The documents embody his hopes and aspirations for post-slavery America, and highlight his patriotic fervor and leadership abilities. Convinced that the future of blacks depended on the War’s outcome, Delany used his elevated status and distinction to launch recruiting efforts; urging blacks to enlist and fight for their freedom and future. While assisting with recruiting colored regiments, Delany advised freedmen on best adaptation strategies. He considered land-acquisition crucial to solidifying black freedom and urged blacks to pool their resources and assist each other with acquiring land. His status as a government official did not deter him from continued critique of slavery and racism. He focused on ensuring that freedmen felt empowered and understood that times had irreversibly changed and that slavery was over; a disposition some government officials found unsettling and potentially subversive.","PeriodicalId":434769,"journal":{"name":"Martin R.

They underline the challenges freedmen confronted, and Delany’s success in creating a functional working relationship between ex-slaves and ex-slave owners. His Bureau reports highlighted the advances made by, and challenges confronting, freedmen. He envisioned every black family attaining economic self-sufficiency through land-ownership, and published a series of articles underlining the industrious capacities of blacks and the benefits of making land available to them. However, Delany also realized that land-redistribution would be a challenge, and that freedmen would have no choice but work as contract laborers. He devised a “Triple Alliance” contract system designed to prevent previously unrestricted practice of uncompensated exploitation of black labor. He urged blacks to deemphasize political rights and prioritize instead economic elevation.","PeriodicalId":434769,"journal":{"name":"Martin R.

They provide detailed explanations for his alienation from, and persecution by, the Radical Republicans. Delany stressed the political and vindictive nature of the persecution, and elaborated on the circumstances of his trial and conviction for grand larceny. The documents also included sympathetic and hostile commentaries by, and reactions of, contemporaries. They underlined the challenges Delany confronted, especially the desperate and difficult political and socio-economic retributions he experienced during the closing years of Reconstruction. Delany characterized the grand larceny episode as retribution for his political conservatism and persistent criticisms of Radical Republican administration and policies. He offered in corroboration, an outline of “ten offenses” that formed the basis of radical persecution. Being tried and found guilty would not silence Delany. He seemed more determined and resolute in his pursuit of racial reconciliation and cooperation.","PeriodicalId":434769,"journal":{"name":"Martin R.

Some of the documents explain the circumstances of the decision and the political and economic consequences. They also highlight the Democratic Party’s failure to keep its campaign promises and betrayal of black supporters, most notably, Delany, prompting his decision to reverse course and resurrect his pre-Civil War Black/African Nationality platform. His pleas for assistance from officials of the American Colonization Society to fund emigration underscored the depth of his betrayal and alienation and his desperate economic condition.","PeriodicalId":434769,"journal":{"name":"Martin R.
