This statement represents the post Civil War success of freed American slaves. This included a 400% increase in literacy, over 1,500 Black state office holders, 2 Black ambassadors, 14 congressman, 11 deputy Marshalls, 6 LT. governors, and many many more. Their success was sabotaged by the KKK’s terrorists tactics of lynching and threatening the interracial vote. What began as a consipracy of goodness, ended as a treacherous plot of sedition.
