Race and Politics in North Carolina, 1872-1901: The Black Second

by Eric Anderson

Book Overview

Eric Anderson studies one of the most remarkable centers of black political influence in the late nineteenth century--North Carolina's second congressional district. From its creation in 1872 as a result of gerrymandering to its collapse in the extremism of 1900, the "black second" produced increasingly effective black leaders in public office, from postmasters to prosecuting attorneys and congressmen.
