A reprint of one of the most explosive pamphlets ever published in the United States.

Written by a supporter of President Abe Lincoln for the 1864 election, the pamphlet advocated equal rights for the newly emancipated Negroes and argued on a scientific basis that the most desirable result for the United States would be a mixing of the races.

The author saw the offspring of racially mixed couples as far superior to those of a single race and ethnic background. Lincoln’s opponents immediately seized on the pamphlet as proof that his policies were aimed at turning white women over to black men, and miscegenation became a horror that gave added impetus to the Ku Klux Klan.

Reading this 64 page pamphlet a century and a third later is an eye-opening experience for students, and can give rise to a wide range of discussion.
