For Sumner would have had the government give the negro a homestead as well as the school and the ballot. He would thus have had the freedman placed where, untrammelled by poverty and unhindered by ignorance, he could by his thrift and his knowledge prove himself capable of casting an intelligent vote. It was not then universal suffrage for the black man which Sumner advocated: it wa...s rather impartial suffrage. "If you introduce, " he said, "the test of the spelling-book, let it cut clear across; let it apply impartially to blacks and whites alike.
