The North should immediately begin the great work of re-peopling the South. Mechanics, farmers, merchants, capitalists are wanted in every Southern State. Before the end of the year, one million men should be sent down to assist the Union at the polls, when the time comes to vote. Throughout the world no such field is presented to wholesome enterprise. With small capital, great opportunities are offered to determined energy. Now that Slavery is dead, Labor will be honorable in the South. (Liberator, May 12, 1865, pg 4)
