This brief, untitled article in the Topeka Daily Capital claims that, while the St. Louis Republican argues that "the colored exodus is the result of Republicanism," in reality white Southerners are to blame for causing the Exodus.
Creator: Topeka Daily Capital
Date: April 26, 1879
This article is short and accessible, and it demonstrates that Kansans (or at least those publishing the Daily Capital) believed that the South was responsible for causing the Exodus. It presents the Republican perspective on the situation faced by free blacks in the South.
