Thomas Nelson Page believes the agitation in the American South comes from white fears over the potential recognition of social equality. President Roosevelt has either misunderstood the implications of appointing African Americans to political posts or he has an agenda to promote social equality. Either way, the white South is upset over the “race question.”
