Download or read book The Byrd Machine in Virginia written by Michael Lee Pope and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2022-10-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Byrd Machine ran Virginia politics for more than half a century. This political organization rose to power during the era of Jim Crow, wielding power and influence over everything from who got the nod to be governor to how the state maintained racial segregation. Inheriting its tactics from two previous political machines, the Byrd organization operated with a pathological hatred of debt spending, crushing the power of labor unions and forcing its will on Black schoolchildren protesting separate and unequal facilities. The nadir of its era was massive resistance, a move to close public schools rather than integrate them. Journalist and author Michael Lee Pope details the rise and fall of the last great political machine in Virginia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evelyn Byrd This book is the third and last of a m trilogy of romances. In that trilogy I have endeavoured to show forth the character of the Virginians - men and women. In "Dorothy South" I tried to show what the Virginians were while the old life lasted - "before the war." In "The Master of Warlock" I endeavoured faithfully to depict the same people as they were during the first half of the Civil War, when their valour seemed to promise everything of results that they desired. In "Evelyn Byrd" I have sought to show the heroism of endurance that marked the conduct of those people during the last half of the war, when disaster stared them in the face a?id they unfalteringly confronted it.
