This book introduces America to the Black Reconstruction
politicians who fought valiantly for the civil rights of all
people-important individuals who have been ignored by modern
historians as well as their contemporaries. Between 1865 and 1876,
about 2,000 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. Before Obama: A Reappraisal of Black Reconstruction-Era
Politicians comprises two volumes that examine the leadership and
contributions of black politicians during the Reconstruction
era-diverse men whose efforts during Reconstruction should not be
overlooked. Each biographical essay examines how each individual
contributed to the Reconstruction Era and fostered the development
of a parallel civil society within black communities, what
influence his actions had on the future of blacks in politics, and
why he has been ignored. This work also serves to set the record
straight about these black politicians who are often scapegoated
for the overall failure of the Reconstruction.
