Ignorant, unmoral. Supersti tious. Easily led astray and utterly unused to the ways of freedom and self~control. They outnumbered the whites in almost half of the counties, the local units of government of the State. The difficulties of the situation were enhanced by the fact that the State government was no longer in the hands of those who um derstood conditions and who were most fit to administer it.
