Excerpt from The Southern Remedy: Governors of Georgia; Organization of the Democratic Party; Mistaken Policy of the Democrats in Buying Doubtful Politicians; Connection Between the Politics of Georgia and of the United States And now, fellow citizens of the South, press forward for the salvation of your country. Instead of old issues and party divisions, let the watchword be Direct Trade with Europe, and the manner in which it is to be effected; and at the next election, elect no man who is not in favor of this trade; and when it is established, we shall occupy the place our Revolutionary fathers intended - be freemen in fact and not alone in name, and may sit under our own vine and fig tree and worship God in our own way, while none dare molest or make us afraid.

Published in 1964, this study of the Republican Party in Georgia during the nineteenth century shows the party as a failed and frustrated institution. Its brief moment of power during Reconstruction burdened its future with the legacy of the abuses of that period. The identification of Republicanism with Radical Reconstruction and the consequent image of the Democratic Party as the vehicle of redemption imposed an almost insuperable handicap. Lack of effective and responsible leadership kept the party small. Dispensing federal patronage among a select group and sending equally select delegates to the national nominating conventions seemingly took precedence over winning elections. In addition, while social discipline was keeping many white voters from active participation in the party, the African American vote declined because of intimidation, apathy, and legal measures designed to exclude blacks from politics. There were no official party records covering the period, and Olive Hall Shadgett abstracted much of this history from newspaper accounts. These are substantiated and elaborated by information from other sources, primarily letters and manuscript collections.
