  • When we learn about the Reconstruction Era in school, it’s often taught as a dark period in American history, a time of upheaval and unrest right after the Cvil War. But what often gets overlooked is that, for a brief period of time, thousands of black representatives were elected to office all over the south.

    The Reconstruction Era Southern Blacks had a whole pre-Jim Crowe era that saw intermingling with Whites, and Blacks holding office throughout the states. Before segregation, before Black codes, etc. , there was a brief era of semi- harmonious post-emancipation Black integration in American society during Reconstruction. Between 1870-1900.

    How did the Reconstruction Amendments lead to the election of Black legislators/politicians?

    • @thefingerofgod69
      @thefingerofgod69 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Slaves could not vote (hence the 13th amendment)
      non citizens could not vote (hence the 14th amendment)
      once "redeemed" southern legislatures made it neigh impossible for African Americans (no longer slaves and now citizens) to vote (hence the 15th amendment... and even with its passage it was ignored until the passage of the voting rights act in 1865 ... which itself was "enabled" by a clause in the 15th amendment... a similar enabling clause appears in the 14th amendment and it is what has allowed for the passage of laws that allow African Americans to sleep in hotels and enter restaurants and etc...)
      those are your reconstruction amendments (13th, 14th, 15th)
      EDIT: I just finished watching the video and I now realize that all of this was covered in the video.

    Actually the so called black men who held office as Republicans of the United States of America Republic were from Europe and are Europeans and Africans known as Moors. They were given refuge by Indians who looked the same as them, who wrote U.S.A constitution as "We the People" of the United States of Algonquin, i.e. aboriginal land and resources owners, ones first in authority, for the colonies who styled themselves as the United States of America.
