Description

"The product of a well-to-do planter family, Charles Hays (1834-79) served as an officer in the Army of Tennessee. After the war, however, he saw clearly the new political realities and became convinced that extending political and economic opportunities to freedmen was necessary as well as morally correct. His rise as a "scalawag" (the derisive term applied to white southerners who favored the policies of Reconstruction) began in 1867, when he abandoned the Democratic party and served as a delegate to the Alabama constitutional convention. He then served in the Alabama state senate before being elected in 1869 to the first of four terms as the representative of the Fourth Congressional District. Driven by his belief that former slaves should be allowed to vote, hold political office, and expect civic equality, Hays put his own life at risk during a political era of unprecedented volatility. Violence and intimidation were rampant in those areas where Republicans received their strongest support, and the Fourth Congressional District, with its large black majority, was a party bastion. During a reign of terror conducted in the name of white supremacy, klansmen and white leaguers hanged and shot Republicans in Hays's district. As his reelection campaign began in 1870, Hays wrote to a colleague: "l do not know how long it will be before you will hear of my assassination but one thing you may count with certainty is that I shall die game."".
