Black republioanism processes to be viii
ling to recognize the action Of the southern
states if they viii adopt the constitutional
amendment. If they will not adopt this
amendment, black republieanism proposes to
reduce these states ID territories, because
their existence Is illegal. In other words,
from the black republican point CT view, the
southern states are legal creatures if they
adopt the amendment, and illegal if they do
not. This is a fair average specimen OF the
logic of the radicals.
