Excerpt from a biography of Francis Warrington Dawson

This excerpt from a biography of Captain Francis Warrington Dawson published in pamphlet form in 1877 focuses on Dawson’s actions during the municipal elections in Charleston, South Carolina in 1868. Dawson’s attempt to unite with African American men and put them on the ticket failed. He was able to bring Democrats and African American men together for the first political meeting between the two groups. Dawson had great concern for the welfare and prosperity of the freed persons at the time.
