Negro Suffrage and Congressional Representation is a book written by James Albert Hamilton and published in 1910. The book explores the history of African American suffrage and representation in Congress, from the Reconstruction era to the early 20th century. Hamilton argues that despite the passage of the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which granted African American men the right to vote, many states in the South implemented discriminatory practices such as poll taxes, literacy tests, and violence to prevent them from exercising their right to vote. The book also discusses the efforts of African American leaders such as Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington to promote suffrage and representation, as well as the role of the Republican Party in advocating for these rights. Hamilton examines the impact of the disfranchisement of African Americans on their political power and representation in Congress, and argues that this has led to a lack of attention to their needs and interests.Overall, Negro Suffrage and Congressional Representation provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges faced by African Americans in their struggle for political rights and representation, and sheds light on the ongoing struggle for racial justice in the United States.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
