The “Carpetbagger” Stereotype

“Carpetbaggers” Power Opportunity Wealth Service Individual carpetbaggers’ goals were diverse: Power Opportunity Wealth Service

Educating Freedmen and Women Although many carpetbaggers went South to seek fortune and political office, many went South to educate freedmen and women. Hampton Institute (VA) Late Nineteenth Century

The Republican Coalition in the South “Carpetbaggers” “Scalawags” Freedmen

Resistance to Reconstruction

The (First) Ku Klux Klan 1865-1874 Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest, CSA Vigilantism

Compromise of 1877 184 166 185 DISPUTED ELECTION “Rutherfraud” Rutherford B. Hayes (R-OH) Samuel Tilden (D-NY) 185 “Rutherfraud” By 1876, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Florida were the only states that still had garrisons of federal troops supporting the Republican state governments through force of arms. All three states had disputed election returns due to massive fraud by both parties. An Electoral Commission, voting on party lines, certified the election for Hayes, who had been twenty votes shy of victory (while Tilden had been only one vote shy). Democrats in Congress staged a filibuster in protest, but a compromise was reached in which the Democrats would accept the result in return for the removal of federal troops from the South and a promise from Hayes not to intervene in the Southern states’ internal politics (i.e., not enforcing the Fifteenth Amendment).

“Redeemer” Governments Southern White “Bourbon” Democrats re-assert authority “Solid South” DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLD Republican Party a non-entity in Southern politics until the 1960s Gov. Wade Hampton (SC)

The “Solid South” Almost 50 Years Later

Jim Crow Segregation and Voting Restrictions Literacy Tests Grandfather Clause “Jim Crow” Laws Racial Segregation Literacy Tests Poll Tax Designed to keep Black citizens from voting

The Supreme Court and Civil Rights (Late Nineteenth Century) In the late 19th century, the Supreme Court upheld Jim Crow, as well as restrictions on voting (since these restrictions did not explicitly discriminate based on race).
