How did African Americans affect southern politics and government during reconstruction?
During Reconstruction, African Americans significantly influenced Southern Politics and Government by actively participating in the electoral process and holding political office. They voted in large numbers, contributing to the election of Black representatives to local, state, and federal positions, including Congress. Their involvement led to the establishment of progressive policies, such as education reforms and civil rights protections. However, this newfound political power was met with resistance from white supremacist groups, ultimately leading to the rollback of many advancements through Jim Crow laws in the late 19th century.
