Is this true or false Black people were never allowed to or hold office in the South?
In the early years after the Civil War there were several State legislators who were black and formally speaking there was never any law in the Southern States that specifically forbade blacks to hold any public office. So in that sense, the answer should be 'false'.But there was another tactic in use in the South: raising the requirements (like specific levels of literacy, being born in the USA) for everyone who wanted to vote or hold office. These requirements applied to whites as well as to blacks, but the Southern States of course well knew that the requirement were much more difficult to meet for the majority of blacks than for the majority of whites. And of course in 'grading' the tests for literacy, it was hard for someone to prove that whites passed much more easily than blacks.

(The disparity was greater for Wells Fargo borrowers, as 2 percent of whites in that income group hold subprime loans and 16.1 percent of blacks.)
