| 释义 |
Speaking in Louisville, Kentucky in 1867, Butler said "We claim ... a position of political equality with whites as a matter of right, as a matter of justice".[2] At the first convention of the Negro Republican Party, held in Lexington, Kentucky in November 1867, he said "First we had the cartridge box, now we want the ballot box, and soon we will get the jury box". Expanding on this theme, he spoke of the service of African Americans in the Union Army during the civil war, saying "We went out and fought the battles of our country, and gained our liberties, but we were left without the means of protecting ourselves in the employment of that liberty. We need and must have the ballot box for that purpose".[3] Later, Butler moved to New York City, and was a member of the New York delegation to the 1872 Republican National Convention in Philadelphia.[4] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.uky.edu/Libraries/NKAA/subject.php?sub_id=79 |title=Butler, William F. |publisher=University of Kentucky Libraries |accessdate=2010-10-04}} 2. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6NC-Yu-AHzgC&pg=PA93 |page=93 |title=Creating a Confederate Kentucky: The Lost Cause and Civil War Memory in a Border State |author=Anne Elizabeth Marshall |publisher=UNC Press Books |year=2010 |ISBN=0-8078-3436-X |accessdate=2010-10-04}} 3. ^{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=l5YmOe6WHboC&pg=PA66 |page=66 |title=The Great Task Remaining Before Us: Reconstruction as America's Continuing Civil War |author=Paul Cimbala |publisher=Fordham Univ Press |year=2010 |ISBN=0-8232-3203-4 |accessdate=2010-10-04}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=https://timesmachine.nytimes.com/timesmachine/1872/06/03/79021211.pdf |work=New York Times |title=Philadelphia: Preparations for the Republican National Convention |date=June 3, 1872 |accessdate=2010-10-04}} 8 : Activists for African-American civil rights|Negro Republican Party politicians|Kentucky Republicans|Politicians from Louisville, Kentucky|Year of birth missing|Year of death missing|African-American people in Kentucky politics|New York (state) Republicans |
