AI notes: In December 1865, Parson William G. Brownlow, a prominent East Tennessee politician, former governor, and fierce Unionist, delivered an address to the citizens of East Tennessee. In this speech, Brownlow urged loyalty to the Union and emphasized the need for Reconstruction efforts to restore the region after the Civil War. He strongly advocated for the protection of civil rights for freed African Americans and the strict enforcement of laws to prevent former Confederates from regaining political power. Brownlow’s address reflected his commitment to Radical Reconstruction principles and his belief that East Tennessee should remain firmly aligned with the Union and the federal government’s efforts to rebuild and reform the South.
