English: An 1876 news article from New York describing Jeremiah Haralson's rise from slavery to the U.S. Congress |
Inscription InfoField | From the Auction Block to Congress.
From the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer. Democratic Jere. Haralson was a slave until 1865, when he was emancipated with the rest. He was a slave of Mr. John T. Walker of Columbus, and on the death of the latter was sold on the block, in this city, to Mr. J. W. Thompson. After his death he was purchased by John Haralson of Salem, Ala., to whom he belonged at the time of emancipa- tion. He was raised in Muscogee county as a common field hand. He was born here in 1845. Upon inquiry we find a number who knew him when a slave. He deserves credit for the infor- mation he has acquired, but he was made what he is, not by any superior motive power above any white man, but the prejudices of ignorant negroes controlled by United States bayonets. He lived in a strong negro district, inhabited by the most unlettered of the class. In 1870 he was elected to the House of Representatives of Ala- bama, and in 1872 to the State Senate, and in 1875 to Congress from the Mobile district. He is superior to his own race, but inferior far to the white man he defeated, and his seat is now con- tested. His success is attributed altogether to race prejudice. |
