 Review: Wade Hampton by Walter Brian Cisco
Hampton understood and acted on his responsibilities in an “aristocratic” regime, he was a devout adherent to the uniquely Southern perspective of transcendence-to what Richard Weaver refers to as the “religiousness” of the South- and he carried on the “preservation of history.”
There were murders, assassinations, and executions of fls and whites alike but it was primarily because of Hampton’s prestige, his acceptance of fl voting rights, and his understanding of political reality that diverted an outright race war and a re-institution of military law.
As governor, and later as U.S. Senator, Wade Hampton was able to reconstitute or perhaps salvage what Weaver refers to as a southern “regime,” or a “way of life.” As Weaver explains, “regime,” means more than just government and its laws.
