RECONSTRUCTION
Harper's Weekly, December 16, 1865, page 787 (Domestic Intelligence)
Governor Parson, in his message to the Alabama Legislature, considers the process of reconstruction as progressing favorably. He earnestly recommends the ratification of the Constitutional Amendment. A telegram was received on the 4th by Secretary Seward from Governor Parsons announcing that the Alabama Legislature had, by an overwhelming vote, ratified the Constitutional Amendment abolishing slavery. Alabama is the twenty-seventh State which has ratified the Amendment. But one more State is required in order to consummate the work.
