How did Spanish -American war affect American expansionism
MrRissso [65]

Which statement MOST ACCURATELY describes the political situation of African Americans in the period of Reconstruction?
Vitek1552 [10]

The correct answer is D) African Americans won Congressional and state legislative representation from Southern states.

During the era of Reconstruction, African-American received the right to vote thanks to the 15th amendment. Since African-Americans received the right to vote, they now had the opportunity to vote for any candidate they wanted. Due to this new found freedom, many African-American males ran for positions in government. This resulted in the election of the African American Senators  like Hiram Revels and Blanche K Bruce.
