This study was made during the academic year, 1905 to 1906, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at The University of Wisconsin, Mr, Olbrich also treated, in the form of exceptionally complete and finished seminary reports, the whole subject of negro suffrage through the passage of the fifteenth amendment, and had planned to present these results, together with a study of its later phases, in the form of a doctoral dissertation. In the summer of 1906, IM r. Olbrich was drowned while bathing in Lake Mendota. This fragment of his work is obviously not precisely in the form in which Mr. Olbrich would have presented it to the public. In particular, more use would have been made of biographical and newspaper material. The handling of the material actually used, however, was so thorough and sane as to make the work of editing it a real pleasure, and this reliability, combined with the substantial originality of the facts and conclusions, were felt to warrant publication. The manner of treatment, moreover, exhibits a distinct individuality and force, in which are traceable the qualities which gave Mr. Olbrich a marked reputation as a debater, and which is particularly well suited to the subject matter. It is possible, liowe Aer, that these considerations might not of themselves have induced the editor to take up the problem of publication, had it not been for his feeling of friendship for Mr. Olbrich, and his sense of the loss which the historical profession suf fered by his death.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the development of sentiment toward African American suffrage leading up to 1860. The author examines arguments for and against Black enfranchisement in the US colonies, the early republic, and the lead-up to the Civil War. They discuss how ideas of racial equality, stemming from Enlightenment principles, clashed with ingrained prejudices, resulting in inconsistent policies and heated debate over Black suffrage. The author highlights how the admission of new states and territories into the Union further complicated the issue, with some allowing Black suffrage and others explicitly excluding it via constitutional amendments. Ultimately, the book underscores how the struggle for Black suffrage was deeply intertwined with the broader fight for racial equality and justice in America.
