re: TIL all white men got to vote just 14 years before black men

After federal troops pulled out of the south, Southern whites used intimidation and violence to deter many blacks from voting . This included lynching , castrations and other vile acts. It was this way that whites where able to regain much of the political power that had been stripped after loosing the civil war. without federal troops to enforce free and fair elections, whites were able to keep blacks marginalized for many decades after reconstruction.
