AP US History
Unit 6 – Industrialization and the Gilded Age, 1865–1898
Topic 6.4
What if African American suffrage was not granted during Reconstruction?
On losing potential voters, both parties might lose interest in southern politics altogether leaving it isolated from national affairs.
There would be no significant change as most African Americans were illiterate and thus unable to vote effectively.
European immigrants would fill up the vacant political positions leading to a more diversified political environment in southern states.
The Solid South, comprising primarily Democratic states, might have been established even earlier due to lack of Republican influence.
