Isn't that a bit of a controversial statement?

How did the corruption of the Grant Administration and the emergence of "carpet-baggers" ensure racial disharmony?

Racial disharmony occured not because of a few corrupt "yankees", but because the majority of whit Southerners (at that time) were racist supremecists.

But I think this is a topic for the Politics board...
