| Abstract
|
:
|
"A Free Ballot and a Fair Count examines the efforts by the Department of Justice to implement the federal legislation known as the Enforcement Acts, passed by Congress in 1870-71. These laws were designed to enforce the voting rights of African-Americans as guaranteed under the recently ratified Fifteenth Amendment. By defining a range of federally prosecutable crimes, the Enforcement Acts aimed at combating white southerners' attempts to deny or restrict black suffrage."--Jacket.
