It is hard, perhaps impossible, for a Northerner to understand Mississippi, that is, to realize its past, to accept its social and economic present, to feel at home living according to its standards, to face its future with hope and assurance. Though Mississippi has grown neurotic over its "war-time anguish," there is no doubt that the State suffered cruelly during the war and reconstruction. At the end of the war, the State debt, according to Attorney General, was over $16,300,000. History fails to record an instance of a victorious people dealing mercifully and patiently with their late enemies.
