He was racist.Wilson was a white supremacist and an apologist for slavery, claiming, for example, that "domestic slaves were almost uniformly dealt with indulgently and even affectionately by their masters." He also maintained that black political participation during Reconstruction constituted "an extraordinary carnival of public crime," and called the violent extinction of black voting and officeholding in the South "the natural, inevitable ascendancy of the whites." Wilson also "strongly backed the demands of Southern leaders that their states be left alone to deal with issues of race and black voting without interference from the North, ensuring there would be no challenge to the raft of laws passed to disenfranchise African Americans across the region." In other words, Wilson not only abided but encouraged the rise of Jim Crow.
