Abstract
Specific Federal aid to the education of Negroes is commonly spoken of as having begun with the Second Morrill Act of 1890, under the provisions of which thirteen of the existing seventeen land-grant colleges for Negroes were established, to be supported partly by a direct Federal subsidy. To obtain the complete picture with respect to Federal aid, however, we must go as far back as 1861 and the Civil War, for the first actual aid rendered by the Federal Government in the education of Negroes specifically was one of the concomitants of that historical intersectional struggle with which the status and future of the Negro in America were inextricably bound.
