Abstract:

The article looks at the various attempts by state politicians to enlist the \"disfranchised\" to their political causes, including refusal to ratify the Fourteenth Amendment. The author attempts to both quantify and qualify those who considered themselves disfranchised following defeat in the Civil War and this group's influence on government.
