the failure of the town of Nicodemus to thrive

Explanation

Edward McCabe left Oklahoma in disgust after Jim Crow laws were established there. These laws enforced racial segregation and undermined his efforts to build opportunities for Black settlers. The Tulsa Race Riot happened much later, and the failure of Nicodemus was unrelated to his departure.
