      The end of Reconstruction did not immediately end the election of black men to the House. There were six black Congressmen who served terms elected between 1878-1898. But then, none elected between 1900-1926.

          Yeah, Jim Crow in its later form was still in its infancy in the 1880s & 1890s, not that those were exactly good times to be black in the South. The 1900-1920 period moved more from vigilantism & neglect to systematic govt discrimination.https://twitter.com/tkdylan/status/1252378507436425223 …

          Dan McLaughlin added,

          D.E. @tkdylan
          The real end of the entire Reconstruction project came about because the Republican-Populist fusion success in the 1880s and 1890s frightened the dominant Democrats into brutally disenfranchising and terrorizing black Southerners. It wasn’t great before then, but slightly better. https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1252376856797429760 …

          And then, from the ‘20s to the mid-‘40s, Chicago had the only African-American representatives. Not so much because we were ahead of our time, more so that the political bosses could count on the black vote.

          And the bosses had a long tradition of ethnic wards.
