Eric Foner Quote
The potent cry of white supremacy provided the final ideological glue in the Democratic coalition. Sometimes the appeal to race was oblique. The Democratic slogan, The Union as It Is, the Constitution as It Was, had as its unstated corollary, blacks as they were—that is, as slaves. Often, it was remarkably direct. Slavery is dead, the Cincinnati Enquirer announced at the end of the war, the negro is not, there is the misfortune.
