Short Description
This multi volume set examines the leadership and contributions of black politicians during the Reconstruction era. Between 1865 and 1876, about two thousand blacks held elective and appointive offices in the South but these men faced astounding odds. They were belittled as corrupt and inadequate by their white political opponents, who used legislative trickery, libel, bribery, and brutal intimidation of their constituents to rob these black lawmakers of their base of support. A few, such as the senator from Mississippi Blanche K. Bruce, are well known, but most have languished in obscurity, omitted from official state histories. In addition, when modern historians have profiled them they’re used as scapegoats for the utter disaster that was Reconstruction. These biographical sketches profile diverse men whose Reconstruction efforts should not be overlooked.
