Sorry FL... discussing the lack of "suffrage" amongst post-slavery blacks isn't sufficient, IMO, nor any different from the status of Women, who didn't enjoy the right to vote until the 19th

The focus is hardly just suffrage (which I didn't mention). The Jim Crow laws throughout the South perpetuated a system of share-cropper servitude for decades.

Oh and yes, this discussion is Off Topic.
