Biography:
The people who were formerly enslaved in Jackson and elsewhere are referred to, tangentially, in the narrative's negative characterization of the Federal officials who administered the post-war attempt at Reconstruction: they are the "freed slaves" whose votes those "carpet-baggers" know how to manipulate (87). Presumably they are also the students who attend Jackson's three new "College[s] for Negroes"; the colleges are mentioned in the text but not the people who attend them (87).
