Description
"During the Reconstruction, African Americans from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia - former slave-owning states - were elected to Congress in remarkable numbers. They included lawyers, teachers, businessmen, editors, and ministers. African Americans gained the right to vote through the Reconstruction Acts and the Civil War Amendments, and elected 2 blacks to the Senate and 19 to the House of Representatives.". "This book provides brief biographical sketches of these extraordinary politicians and excerpts from documents illuminating their activities in Congress."--BOOK JACKET.
