Offered here is a fascinating piece of academic history: "The Development of Sentiment on Negro Suffrage to 1860," a bulletin from the University of Wisconsin. This work, written by Emil Olbrich as a thesis for the degree of Master of Arts, delves into the formative years of the movement towards Black suffrage in the United States.
Published as part of the Bulletin of the University of Wisconsin History Series (No. 477, Vol. 5, No. 1, pp. 1-132), this thesis provides valuable insight into the historical context and evolving public opinion surrounding voting rights for Black Americans in the decades leading up to the Civil War. It's a primary source that illuminates the early intellectual and social arguments surrounding a pivotal issue in American history.
