"A Mississippi View of Race Relations in the South" by Dunbar Rowland is a historical account delivered before the Alumni Association of the University of Mississippi in the early 20th century, specifically in 1902 and published the following year. This work delves into the complex dynamics of race relations between white people and African Americans in the South, analyzing the social, political, and economic aspects that shaped these interactions post-Civil War. The book reflects a Southern perspective, aiming to provide an unprejudiced account of the past while addressing the future's challenges. The text outlines the aftermath of the Civil War, focusing on the Reconstruction period and its consequences for both races. Rowland argues that the enfranchisement of African Americans was a significant error that led to political and social upheaval, asserting that many of the issues faced by the South stemmed from misguided policies during this time. He chronicles the rise of "negro rule" and the subsequent Southern reaction, which he characterizes as a justified response to the perceived failures of that period. The narrative progresses to the establishment of the Mississippi Constitution of 1890, which implemented educational and property qualifications for voting, ostensibly aimed at ensuring an informed electorate while restricting African American suffrage. Throughout, Rowland emphasizes the necessity of white supremacy in governance, presenting an argument grounded in the belief that racial separation and the careful management of African American citizens were essential for social order and progress in the South.
