Politics and Progress Reconstruction Ends p

Democrats Rewrite the Constitution In 1874 Democrats regained the governorship in Texas. The party’s first goal was to write a new constitution. Many delegates felt the old Constitution, which was written by Radical Republicans, gave too much power to a few state officials. The new Constitution of 1876 created a government with limited powers. The Constitution of 1876 is still the constitution of Texas, but with almost 400 amendments.

Democrats Control State Politics Most leaders elected to public office after the end of Reconstruction were Democrats. They passed laws restricting the rights of African Americans living in Texas. Between 1868 and 1898, some 60 African Americans served in the state legislature or participated in important political conventions. Many African Americans remained loyal the Texas Republican Party. Frequently efforts were made to prevent African Americans from voting. They were threatened, denied jobs, or harmed if they tried to take part in politics or vote.

Lawmen Keep Order Lawlessness was a major problem in Texas after the Civil War. Many unemployed people turned to robbing trains, stagecoaches, and banks. Restoring law and order was a major accomplishment for the sate government and other groups during these years. Various communities formed vigilante committees, who were volunteers crime fighters. The Texas Rangers joined local officers in the fight against crime.

Texas Needs a Capitol The need for a new capitol building became essential after the old Capitol and many valuable state records burned in Work began in 1882, and the new Capitol was officially dedicated in Modeled after the U.S. Capitol, the building was constructed of sunset red granite from Marble Falls.

Women Fight For Their Rights Women in Texas did not enjoy the same legal rights as men. Women’s rights to own property or conduct business were limited. It took women 50 years of hard work and three different organization to finally win suffrage. (19 th amendment) The fight began after the Civil War during the Constitutional Convention of and ended when women won the right to vote in 1920.

Women at Work Texas women have always worked, but they have not always been paid for it. Many began entering the paid labor force for the first time as farm workers, laundresses, and domestics. Teaching was one of the most accepted professions open to women at this time. A few women were physicians. Women made important contribution in the arts as well.
