Descrição do livro

Report Of And Testimony. This compilation presents congressional hearings on the condition of affairs in Reconstruction-era South Carolina, focusing on law, order, and violence. Central to the record is James L. Orr, former governor, who testifies about the administration of law in his district and about wider statewide disorder, including reports of a secret political organization and the Laurens County riot of October 1870. The document outlines evidence and sources, including newspaper reports and the Columbia lawyer G. W. Seibels, and discusses a publication attributed to a 'Council of Safety' whose provenance is uncertain. A major portion documents local testimony in Spartanburg in July 1871 about Ku-Klux-like terror: masked attacks on Black and white Republicans, threats to reveal political loyalties, and a pattern of whipping, arson, and intimidation aimed at suppressing Republican participation. The record also covers military versus civil authority, ballot-box manipulation, pardons, and the social and economic toll of intimidation. Its aim is to identify perpetrators and patterns to press for protection and reform.
