Introduction
Everywhere is freedom and everybody free : the capital transformed
They feel it is their right : freedpeople, reformers, and the demands of citizenship
Someone must lead the way : creating and claiming civil rights
First among them is the right of suffrage : the vote and its consequences
Make haste slowly : the limits of equality
To save the common property and respectability of all : the rise and fall of the territorial government.
