Use the excerpt to answer the question
Mr. President, lynching has been committed in the south for many years, but when the last presidential election took place, practically every colored boy and girl in America was for Warren. G. Harding as president. Why did we want you? The answer was: He is a Republican and will stop that terrible crime-lynching Mr. President, why do they lynch a Negro? Has not he done his full share or bit in the making of this new land? When America was fighting for independence, was not Crispus Attucks, a Negro, the first man killed? There are many others that could be named, but time and space will not permit me. When the trumpet was blown for civil strife, did not the Negro give his life as well as the Anglo-Saxon? During the world war Negro boys also sacrificed their lives as well, and as bravely as the white man, that democracy might rule the earth. -excerpt from Ara Lee Settle's letter to President Harding, 1922
