Ron Chernow Quote
When he sent a defiant annual message to Congress in early December, it polarized the situation even further. He accused Congress of burdening southern states with black voting rights even though blacks had demonstrated little capacity for government and wherever they have been left to their own devices they have shown a constant tendency to relapse into barbarism.27 This message claimed the dubious distinction of being the most racist such message ever penned by an American president.
