THE CONSTITUTION AND THE NEW JIM CROW By Robert P. Robertson On this matter of equality we must agree it is impossible between us. You and we are different races. We have between us a broader difference than exists between almost any other two races. Whether it is right or wrong I need not discuss, but this physical difference is a great disadvantage to us both as I think your race suffer greatly, manyof them, by living among us, while ours suffer from your presence. There is an unwillingness on the part of our people, harsh as it may be, for you free coloured people to remain with us. It is better for us both to be separated. (James M. MacPherson, Civil War historian) That was spoken by the framer of the Emancipation Proclamation
