Abstract:

With a Democratically controlled government in 1870, voting rights for African Americans were limited and restricted by what became known as the \"white man's\" party, or the Democratic Party, for the next 25 years. During that 25 year span, more African Americans entered the political arena and challenged the Democratic suppression of the suffrage amendment.
