No. The "white" and "black" laborers became dissatisfied with their working conditions and began to agitate for better treatment, etc. Property owners came up with a way of dividing them by suggesting one group was better, favored, over the other. From that point on, "whites" began to believe that winning concessions for "blacks" meant they would lose some of what they deserve.

As for a citation, I highly recommend Zinn's book, it's full of them. Years of additional reading there if one wanted it.
