Early life and career

Coleman Livingston Blease was born near the town of Newberry, South Carolina, on October 8, 1868, the year that South Carolina's new Reconstruction constitution was adopted and African Americans began participating in public life. Blease's attitudes about race were almost certainly shaped by the violent confrontations of this period. Blease was educated at Newberry College, the University of South Carolina, and Georgetown University, where he graduated from the law department in 1889. Blease returned to Newberry to practice law and enter politics. He began his political career in the South Carolina House of Representatives in 1890 as a protege of Benjamin Ryan Tillman. But whereas Tillman drew his support from South Carolina's poor white farmers and never quite trusted the growing numbers of white textile mill workers, Blease came to see that these workers lacked a political voice. His own rise to power, as he moved from the South Carolina House of Representatives to the South Carolina Senate in 1900, was built on the support of mill workers, an increasingly important segment of the electorate in South Carolina in this period. This new era saw a sharp division within the state Democratic Party (the Republican Party being virtually non-existent in South Carolina and much of the rest of the South at this time), with the factions known for many years as being "Tillmanites" and "Bleaseites." Newberry is a town in Newberry County, South Carolina, 43 miles (69 km) west -northwest of Columbia. ... Reconstruction was the attempt from 1865 to 1877 in U.S. history to resolve the issues of the American Civil War, when both the Confederacy and slavery were destroyed. ... An African American (also Afro-American, Black American, or simply black) is a member of an ethnic group in the United States whose ancestors, usually in predominant part, were indigenous to Africa. ... Newberry College is a liberal-arts college of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America located on an ninety acre (324,000 m²) campus in Newberry, South Carolina. ... The University of South Carolina, Columbia (USC or Carolina) is a public, co-educational, research university located in Columbia, South Carolina, United States. ... Benjamin Ryan Tillman (August 11, 1847 _ July 3, 1918) was an American politician who served as governor of South Carolina from 1890 to 1894 and as a United States Senator from 1895 until his death. ...


Blease as Governor

Blease was elected governor in 1910 and re-elected in 1912. His administration was bizarre, but not criminal. He pardoned extravagantly and answered the snubs of the opposition with abusive language. Blease supported the practice of lynching both by public statements and by not using the powers of his office to prevent lynchings or prosecute mob members. Although the combined opposition of Tillman and the upper classes could not prevent his reelection in 1912, he lost the election of 1914 and spent a decade outside the mainstream of politics. The administration of Governor Richard Irvine Manning III (1915-1919) brought many Progressive Era reforms to the state, but as the political climate turned more reactionary after 1919, Blease's popularity rebounded. Blease lacked a constructive program and the prudence of a successful organizer. But his agitations had permanently quickened the political consciousness of the cotton-mill operatives and other poor whites. 1910 (MCMX) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will display calendar) of the Gregorian calendar or a common year starting on Sunday of the 13-day slower Julian calendar. ... 1912 (MCMXII) was a leap year starting on Monday in the Gregorian calendar (or a leap year starting on Tuesday in the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ... 1912 (MCMXII) was a leap year starting on Monday in the Gregorian calendar (or a leap year starting on Tuesday in the 13-day-slower Julian calendar). ... 1914 (MCMXIV) was a common year starting on Thursday (see link for calendar). ... Richard Irvine Manning III (August 15, 1859 - September 11, 1931) was a politician from the U.S. state of South Carolina. ...


In virtually all of his campaigns, Blease used a catchy, nonsensical, non-specific campaign jingle that became well known to virtually every voter in South Carolina in the era: "Do what you want, say what you please...the man for the job is Coley Blease!"


Blease as Senator

In 1924, Blease defeated James F. Byrnes in the Democratic primary and was elected to the U.S. Senate. His campaign showed that he was the same politician he had always been and foreshadowed his style as Senator. Blease's defeat of Byrnes was widely credited to a rumor campaign that Byrnes, who was raised a Roman Catholic in Charleston, had not really left that faith when he entered politics. Such an assertion in an overwhelmingly Protestant state in the years when the Ku Klux Klan was at the height of its power ruined Byrnes's hopes that year, though it was Byrnes who defeated Blease in his 1930 run for re-election. James Francis Byrnes (May 2, 1879 – April 9, 1972) was an American politician from the state of South Carolina. ... Members of the second Ku Klux Klan at a rally during the 1920s. ...

Coleman Livingston Blease was a fiery, controversial politician in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in the upstate of South Carolina.
In 1890, Blease both began his career in the state house of representatives and became a "Tillman lieutenant." Benjamin Tillman had begun a political revolution among white farmers in the 1880's, and his movement allied with the mill operatives in 1890 with the sole common factor being suspicion or hatred of towns.
Blease himself was the primary cause of factions while serving as governor from 1910-1914, and because of these strong feelings on both sides, voting participation was at a record high.
