Description
This letter from South Carolina focused on north and south hostilities. The letter provides African American statistics in South Carolina, information on race relations and climate. The resident disagreed with integration stating "you will find that as the Negro integrates, so will the rate of crime. You will find your schools almost completely segregated within itself...I don't envy you and the people of your city in the years ahead." This resident believed the north will suffer as a result of integration arguing harmony and peace will not last.
