Excerpt from Kemper County Vindicated: And a Peep at Radical Rule in Mississippi
The object of this work is to present a true history of the deplorable events that occurred in Kemper County, Mississippi, during the rule of the radical party, and resulting from it, and which have been so persistently and maliciously exaggerated and misrepresented for the purposes of calumny; and to show that, in regard to these events, the people of that county have been more "sinned against than sinning."
In treating of these circumstances, the author has necessarily been led to a view of the whole field of official corruption, which spread itself from the Capitol all round to the borders of the State, and which was extended, planted and cultivated by means of the infamous process called "reconstruction," which was originated and enforced by the hatred of the then all dominant party that wielded the power of the Federal Government; and from this survey it will be manifest that the terrible state of affairs that existed in Kemper County, and so assiduously ascribed to the depravity of its citizens, was but a prominent outgrowth of that harvest of crime sown by the hand of radicalism all over the State.
