Micah John Jenkins expresses appreciation for Colonel Dargan’s letter that was published in The State. He appreciates the notion that in order for the Southern States to take their “equal, just” places in government, they need to reject the “unworthy demagogues” who are opposing worthy causes for personal gain. Jenkins notes that he has family members who supported both sides of the Civil War and says that his current views are informed by his personal friendship with President Roosevelt.
