Within the archive I found talk about the "Fears of Reconstruction". This topic mainly went over the drop in products, and injure businesses. The paper was from the Memphis Daily Appeal, and it went over how reconstruction was causing a scare within the community, and there was increased agitation along with trouble on the streets.This is really what i expected from the paper at this time, southerners are afraid of the businesses being ruined or the communities tainted from the black community, and they're not happy about it. Reading the archive allows us to get a better feel of what was on everyone's mind at the time of the Reconstruction, and to see peoples reactions to it.
