Which I have taken from @PatYoung 's blog.
The Richmond Whig was a staunch opponent of Republican Reconstruction plans, but as this article indicates it could be realistic in its assessment of the permanent changes wrought by the 13th Amendment. Many Southern whites, angry at there former slaves for choosing emancipation over continued enslavement, cooked up schemes to encourage immigrants to come to the former Confederate states to replace the slaves. These plans were for nought because immigrants soon found that they were treated like slaves and they quickly left to region.

One advantage of taking a less antagonistic approach to Black workers would be the increased political control white landowners would have over Black votes. White political supremacy could be fostered by changes in labor relations.
