message: I read somewhere that she was a supporter of Jim Crow and lynching, is this true? Stonemason89 (talk) 05:08, 12 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really. But she certainly wasn't above using racially charged rhetoric to gain the sympathy and support of southern whites, by playing on their racist fears--i.e. that the emancipated former slaves represented an army of rapists waiting to happen, and must be kept from alcohol at all costs. And playing up these fears was kind of an implicit support of lynching, whether or not she consciously "supported" it, since it reinforced the idea among the people doing the lynching that these fears were justified.

message: Previous assertion attempted to attribute Willard's activism to Methodism's emphasis on "home-centered" family unit and esp. the "pious wife and mother."  Cite didn't support that.  More accurate to say that Methodism always has had a strong social justice and "renewal in the world" component and that activism esp. in mid-19th century was salient in the denomination. So I added a wikilink to the appropriate section of the Methodism article and moved the existing footnote to the middle of the sentence where it supports the assertion about the family's conversion.Ouilmette (talk) 23:21, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
