Then Reconstruction. Things were looking up. 22 (?) Blacks got elected to Congress. But they got stymied by laws such the "Slaughterhouse Cases" ("you can't be Black and be a butcher"). SCOTUS allowed them and, in 1893 came "separate but equal." Thus arose the Jim Crow South. — PolitiTweet.org

Lincoln is critiqued for not being AS abolitionist as Frederick Douglass would have wanted. He was a politician, he said things some places & other things other places. But on balance, we fought a Civil War over slavery (as @DrIbram acknowledges). Lincoln led it. That counts. — PolitiTweet.org
