Reconstruction was rolled back. Gains made by the Civil War (Amendments 13, 14, & 15) became legal formalities, replaced by near-replacements for slavery (e.g., sharecropping). The military & civil service, which had become integrated, were re-segregated (by Wilson). — PolitiTweet.org

Then came Progressivism, an aim of which was to get government big enough to protect Whites from Black competition. That was a pillar of unionization & minimum wage laws. That is why the Confederate Statues went up under Progressives and why the KKK reached its peak under Wilson. — PolitiTweet.org

Nonetheless, Black progress continued, albeit it more slowly than it would have otherwise and more slowly than for otherwise similarly-situated immigrants (e.g., Irish & Italians). By the 1920s a small Black middle class emerged (that is why race riots [e.g. Tulsa] began). — PolitiTweet.org
