How Black Americans Co-opted the Fourth of July
After the Civil War, white southerners saw the Fourth of July as a celebration of Confederate defeat. Black southerners saw opportunities


The political climate changed in the 1870s as the federal government abandoned Reconstruction and local Memphis elites led a successful movement to dissolve the city charter, reducing the power of Black voters. By the 1890s, white southerners were again embracing the Fourth of July. But, Page writes, to Black Memphis residents, it “once again became a far off promise of equality as the words of the Declaration of Independence were voiced, but proved to have little meaning, in the Jim Crow South.”

The 'contentious' presidential election of1876, which led to the Compromise of 1877 wherein Republican presidential candidate Rutherford B Hayes and the Republican party, conspired with the Democratic presidential candidate Samuel Tilden, and the Democratic party to let the electoral college select Rutherford B Hayes to be the president of the usa! With the understanding that Hayes would withdraw the Federal troops from South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana and thereby leave the 'newly freed slaves' at the mercy of their former owners!!! This treachery and betrayal by the Republican party allowed the Democrats to terrorize and disenfranchise the blacks, some of who had been elected to state legislatures in the deep south! Lynchings, rapes, castrations, and mutilations became occassions to celebrate! Consequently, Afrikans went from chattel slavery to share cropping, and convict leasing! Imo this chapter of history in this country is the most important chapter! It will dispel the myth that there is a difference between the Republicans and the Democrats!
