1 сент 1868 г. - The Original 33 Elected
Описание:
In September 1868, just after the Civil war ended, 33 legislators were expelled from the Georgia General Assembly solely because they were black. The end of the slavery and the ability for black men to vote opened the door for elected officials of color. This also marked the beginning of voting laws, black codes, and voter intimidation to prevent blacks, including those who were never enslaved, from getting political power.Добавлено на ленту времени:
