General Overview
Black newspaperman Alexander Manly, perhaps due to lagging revenue and prone to inflammatory editorials like the one cited below, was responding to an 1897 speech by Georgian Rebecca Felton to a Georgia Agricultural Fair assembly. She decried the rape of white farm women by black men while the white farmers were working the fields, and that this crime had become epidemic. She blamed the Republican party for fostering the belief among blacks that their crime of rape would not be punished. Manly’s editorial was seen as suggesting that the rape was somehow consensual and absolving the criminal.
