Henry McNeal Turner and other black legislators

For the first time in 1867, blacks were aloud the opportunity to vote. With the new right, I was time for black politicians to come to power. There were 3 African American Senators in Georgia, and 29 House of Representatives in the Georgia Assembly. All of these people were kicked out of their position because; many people believed that they did not have the right to be put in a political office. As during Reconstruction, African American became the largest group of Republicans in the south.
