Segregation and Black Political Efficacy Elizabeth Oltmans Ananat and Ebonya L. Washington NBER Working Paper No. 13606 November 2007, Revised February 2008 JEL No. D72,J15 ABSTRACT The impact of segregation on Black political efficacy is theoretically ambiguous. On one hand, increased contact among Blacks in more segregated areas may mean that Blacks are better able to coordinate political behavior. On the other hand, lesser contact with non-Blacks may mean that Blacks have less political influence over voters of other races. As for non-Blacks, inter-group conflict theory suggests that greater contact yields greater conflict between the groups while inter-group contact theory suggests exactly the reverse.

LEE STREET PHONE (229) 924-3678 AMERICUS, GEORGIA 31709 (Ask for the Clerk of Court) February 20th, 2007 Dear Members of the Southwestern Judicial Circuit Bar: Philip Cook was born on July 31, 1817, in Twiggs County, Georgia. After studying at Oglethorpe University, he graduated from the law school of the University of Virginia in 1841. Until 1861, he lived in Madison County, Georgia. After the War Between the States, he moved to Americus, Georgia, where he set up a law practice and was active in politics. He served in the US House of Representatives from 1873 to 1883; he became Georgia's secretary of state in 1890; and, was part of the commission that built Atlanta's state capitol. His photograph follows this letter. His war service is reported as follows. In early 1861, he volunteered as a private in the 4th Georgia Infantry. After being sent with the regiment to Portsmouth, Virginia, he became its adjutant. Having fought in the Seminole Wars, Cook had enough experience to help him during the regiment's Virginia Peninsula campaigns. By the end of the Seven Days' Campaign, he had obtained a position as lieutenant colonel of the regiment. After being present at the Second Battle of Bull Run and Battle of Antietam, he was promoted to colonel. Leading the 4th Georgia, he took part in the Second Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of Chancellorsville. He was wounded in the leg, and was cited for gallantry. After taking three months off for rehabilitation, he returned to the field, and took a leave of absence to sit in a session of the Georgia legislature.
