Why did so many African Americans stay in the south after slavery was abolished?For a while at least, things seemed to be getting a lot better.Between 1865 when the 13th Amendment was ratified, and 1896 when the Supreme Court’s ruling in Plessy v. Ferguson made racial segregation the law of the land, there were brief, hopeful moments when it looked as if racial equality might actually happen.See these distinguished looking public servants in their old-fashioned suits and side whiskers? They were Sen. Hiram Revels (R-MS), Rep. Benjamin S. Turner (R-AL), Robert DeLarge (R-SC), Josiah Walls (R-FL), Jefferson Long (R-GA), Joseph Rainey and Robert B. Elliott (R-SC). They were all senators or representatives of Southern states in the United States Congress during the 1870s. Most had been born in slavery, but here they were making laws in the nation’s capitol. I’d call that progress, wouldn’t you?Despite the best efforts of the Klan and other agents of white terror, free black people in the postwar South started businesses, bought real estate and occasionally became very rich. James T Wormley, a Union Civil War veteran and son of a former slave, had by the mid-1870s become owner of one of Washington DC’s finest hotels. Around the same time, James Thomas, a former slave working as a barber in Saint Louis, Missouri married Antoinette, daughter of black real estate baroness Pelagie Rutgers and parlayed his new family wealth into a real estate empire of his own. By the middle of the 1870s, he was worth $165,000, which is about three million dollars in 2019 money.These stories posit the most tragic “it might have been” in American history. There’s no telling how much a free black population might have achieved in a more racially equitable society. But we all know what happened next: the institutionalization of racial terror, ‘Separate but equal’, Jim Crow laws and black people who lived like old-time serfs on sharecropper plots.World War One provided a salvation of sorts. Northern factories needed war workers and many black families escaped their sharecropper shacks in the dead of night to pursue the new opportunities in Chicago, Washinton DC, New York and Detroit. Some emigrants of the “Great Migration” did very well and entered the middle or upper classes in their new homes, but just as many found themselves trapped in overpriced segregated neighborhoods without jobs or prospects just as the Great Depression hit.And by the time racial equality laws of the 1960s started changing things for real in the South, much of the early hopeful momentum was long lost. Black Americans had spent decades trapped in poverty and oppression that many internalized, and from which only a lucky and talented few could escape.In spite of that long historical nightmare, black people North and South continue to rise and achieve. But it could have happened much earlier and for many more people if only their ancestors had been treated more fairly.

When I looked at your article, it seemed to have roughly equal numbers from both parties. So I wrote a quick program to count them up. You are correct that there are only 57 Democrats compared to 64 Republicans (all listed below).But I’m not convinced of your pattern. For one thing the list is not complete. For another, there’s a huge variation in charges. The first Republican entry, for example is 11 days in jail for DWI, while the first Democratic one is 3 and a half years in prison for bribery. I think a complete list, weighted for severity, would show about equal for both parties.I did a word count on the lists to get some crude idea of any differences between the parties. Here are the most common words excluding common English words that don’t convey much information, along with how often the words showed up for each party.Campaign violations seem equal, as does fraud. But Republicans seem much more likely to perjure and obstruct, while Democrats conspire. Republicans seems to get lighter penalties, more fines, jail, probation, resignation and suspended sentences; less prison and sentenced. Depending on your partisanship, you can assume Democrats commit worse crimes, or Republicans get lighter treatment from courts. There is a huge gender gap in federal crimes, but the Democrats are more equal than the Republicans.One surprise is only two from each party were pardoned, I had an idea that federal officials convicted of crimes had good chances of pardons. Also, four Democrats but no Republicans were re-elected.DemocratsAlbert Bustamante (D-Texas) was convicted of accepting bribes and sentenced to three and one-half years in prison.
