Sharon,

I think the particular point that Cable and others were making about the
Freedman's case was that this was in the 1880s, long after the Civil War,
when convict & Lease practices wich focussed on the Negro, in effect
returned him to slavery--part of a web of injustices that attempted to keep
the blacks under control.
