And all those revenooers. Treasury agents put out of work by the repeal of prohibition were suddenly about to become unemployed. OH dear! we can't have that.

We get to maintain our payroll and we control the access to firearms of all those new black voters. Rebel yell at this point, emitted by Carpetbaggers.
