Excerpt"Therefore, resolved, That the said proposed amendment to the Constitution be, and the same is hereby, ratified by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina." (July 9, 1868)"it shall be the duty of the State Superintendent of Education, to provide, through the School Commissioner of each County, for the enumeration of all the unmarried youth of the State, between the ages of five and eighteen years, classifying them as colored and white, male and female, and he shall report the same through the Governor of the State to the General Assembly at its next regular session." (September 15, 1868) Historical BackgroundOn March 2, 1867, Congress passed An Act to Provide for the More Efficient Government of the Rebel States, commonly referred to as the Reconstruction Act. It declared that "no legal state government" existed in any former Confederate state except Tennessee and divided the South into five military districts. Each state had to prepare new constitutions that incorporated universal male suffrage and had to be approved by Congress. The South Carolina General Assembly did not convene in 1867 due to federal occupation. In November 1867, voters in South Carolina elected 124 delegates to attend a new constitutional convention in Charleston in January 1868. The delegates included 76 African Americans and 48 whites, 15 of whom were not natives of the state. In addition to implementing universal manhood suffrage, the new Constitution abolished debtors' prison, provided for public education open to all races, abolished property ownership as a qualification for office holding, granted some rights to women, and created counties in the state. It was submitted to the electorate for approval, but many whites refused to participate; Congress approved it on April 16, 1868.A newly elected General Assembly convened in Columbia on July 6 for a special session that continued for twelve weeks until adjourning on September 26, 1868. Eighty-eight of the legislators were African American, and sixty-seven were white, the first state legislature in the United States to have a majority of black members. Among the legislature's members were future African American members of Congress Joseph Hayne Rainey, Robert Carlos DeLarge, Robert Brown Elliott, Richard Harvey Cain, Alonzo Jacob Ransier, and Robert Smalls.To raise revenue, the legislature taxed all property at its full value, rather than undervaluing land as earlier legislatures had done to shift the tax burden to merchants, bankers, and urban professionals. The special session passed a series of seventy-one acts and nine joint resolutions. The acts covered a wide range of topics, including education, courts, state police, homesteads, taxation, the treatment of prisoners, jurisdiction and duties of county commissioners, and a variety of incorporating acts. The most important joint resolution was that ratifying the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.Robert Kingston Scott (1826-1900), was born in western Pennsylvania, studied medicine, and opened a practice in northwestern Ohio. He supported the abolitionist Liberty Party in politics. In October 1861, Scott became lieutenant colonel of the 68th Ohio Infantry and became its colonel in July 1862. After serving in Tennessee and Mississippi, he was taken prisoner near Atlanta. He returned to the Union Army after escaping or being exchanged and was commissioned a brigadier general of volunteers in January 1865. After the war, he served as the assistant commissioner of the Freedmen's Bureau in South Carolina from 1865 to 1868. In the spring of 1868, . (See website for full description). Hardcover.

Add to basketCondition: Very good. A revealing Reconstruction-era letter centered on the authority and reach of the Freedmen?s Bureau, and the contested recovery of property in the immediate aftermath of the Civil War. Following a trip to Washington, Rhodes writes, ?My pardon has been granted, and will be forwarded through Gov. Pierpont, if…it has not already been done, and I beg that you will take steps immediately to get it into your possession. In the meantime it strikes me that the letter of Mr. Colby ought to be sufficient as evidence before the Freedmen?s Bureau that my property is unlawfully and improperly occupied and withheld. You know how anxious I am to rescue my books and furniture from the grasp of the officers into whose hands they have fallen. On no terms will I consent to rent or sell the thousandth part of it? The letter reflects the Bureau?s ole in Reconstruction as both an administrative authority over abandoned or confiscated property and an arbiter in disputes between former Confederates and new claimants. Rhodes notes that he had delayed writing ?because my whole letter would have been comprised in the single word ?failure? and I didn?t have the heart to write it.? Even his return South remains uncertain, dependent on ?the next news from home,? and, implicitly, on the Bureau?s response. It?s notable that the matter involved Rhodes? house, as many disputes involved land. Overall a concise document illustrating how the Freedmen?s Bureau functioned not only as an instrument of emancipation and aid, but as a central, contested authority in the reordering of property, power, and daily life in the Reconstruction South. Autograph letter signed, A. H. Rhodes, to ?Charley.? Four pages measuring 5 x 8 inches.

Contact seller5-star sellerWigginton, Peter D. Wigginton vs. Pacheco: Contested-Election Case of Wigginton vs. Pacheco (1878) documents federal adjudication of a disputed congressional election and establishes a critical record of Latino political participation in post-Mexican-American War California. Produced during the 45th Congress, this report centers… on Romualdo Pacheco, a Californio politician who held state and national office, including the governorship of California, and whose congressional seat became the subject of a formal electoral challenge. The document supports research into Reconstruction-era electoral governance, the legal regulation of voting, and the position of Mexican American officeholders within United States political institutions during the late nineteenth century. Wigginton, Peter D. Wigginton vs. Pacheco: Contested-Election Case of Wigginton vs. Pacheco. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1878. The text presents the proceedings before the House Committee on Elections concerning the contested 1876 race in California's Fourth Congressional District. It includes committee findings, sworn testimony, and detailed vote tabulations from Monterey and Ventura Counties, where disputes centered on altered returns, ballot validity, and residency qualifications. Testimony describes specific instances of post-canvass modification of vote totals by local officials, including the alteration of county tallies after adjournment, which reversed the election outcome by a single vote. The report reproduces numerical comparisons of precinct results alongside legal arguments regarding electoral procedure and authority. It also records challenges to voter eligibility involving Native Californians and Californios, with witnesses and officials debating citizenship status and legal standing within the electoral system. Issued in the context of federal oversight of contested elections, this report demonstrates how congressional authority functioned as the final arbiter in disputed state-level results, particularly in regions with complex racial and political histories following U.S. annexation. The resolution affirming Pacheco's right to the seat formalizes the federal government's role in determining electoral legitimacy and documents how race, citizenship, and local administrative practices intersected in western electoral politics. Octavo pamphlet; 34 pages; no binding as issued. Moderate toning, scattered edge wear, small marginal chips, and occasional light staining; text complete and legible. Overall condition: Good.

Contact seller5-star sellerPalmer, J.A., and Havens, O.P. stereoview photographs, circa 1870s-1880s, depicting African American labor in the Reconstruction-era South with direct relevance to the study of post-emancipation work systems, racialized labor roles, and visual culture in the decades following the Civil War. The images present two distinct but re…lated scenes: one showing three young boys identified as chimney sweeps holding tools associated with their trade, and another depicting cotton pickers in an agricultural setting. Produced during a period when photography increasingly circulated images of Black labor to national audiences, these views document both occupational roles assigned to African Americans and the persistence of labor structures rooted in the antebellum economy. The involvement of photographers J.A. Palmer and O.P. Havens, both active in the South and known for producing stereoviews of African American subjects, situates the photographs within a broader commercial and documentary practice that shaped visual representations of Black life during Reconstruction and its aftermath. Palmer, J.A. Chimney Sweeps. Aiken, South Carolina: circa 1870s-1880s. Albumen stereoview photograph with studio imprint and manuscript title on the verso, depicting three young boys outdoors wearing work clothing and hats, each holding tools associated with chimney sweeping; verso bears ink stamp of The Treadwell Collection. Havens, O.P. Cotton Picking No. 3. Savannah, Georgia: circa 1880s. Albumen stereoview photograph with studio imprint and penciled notation on the verso indicating acquisition in Charleston, South Carolina, depicting African American laborers engaged in cotton harvesting. Together, two stereoview photographs mounted on cardstock, each measuring approximately 6.5 x 3.5 inches. Albumen images with some lightening to the Palmer photograph and light spotting to the Havens image; mounts intact with minor wear; overall good to very good condition. A paired visual record of African American labor and childhood in the Reconstruction South, produced by two regional photographers whose work contributed to the circulation of post-emancipation imagery.

Contact seller5-star seller[African American][Interracial] Interracial couple tintype photograph, circa 1870s-1880s, an intimate image of interracial partnership in the decades following the Civil War, when anti miscegenation statutes and racial violence sharply constrained such relationships in much of the United States. Created during the Reconstruction… or immediate post Reconstruction era, the image presents an African American woman and a white man posed in deliberate proximity, visually asserting familiarity, parity, and shared domestic identity. At a time when interracial unions were legally prohibited in many Southern states and socially stigmatized even where lawful, the photograph offers rare material evidence of interracial companionship rendered with dignity and composure. Small format tintype photograph measuring approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches. The African American woman appears slightly elevated at left, dressed in a high neck, long sleeved Victorian dress with fitted bodice and subtle patterned fabric. She holds a wide brimmed hat with decorative trim and fringe in her lap and rests her hand gently on the man's arm, a gesture signaling intimacy rather than incidental contact. Her direct gaze toward the camera conveys self possession and social confidence, and her carefully arranged hairstyle and refined dress indicate middle class presentation rather than laboring status. Beside her sits a light skinned white man wearing a bowler hat, jacket, collared shirt, and patterned tie, posed with one leg crossed and hand resting on his knee. An ornate spiral walking stick or cane, visible within the composition, functions as a conventional nineteenth century signifier of respectability and status. The plain studio backdrop centers attention on the sitters, emphasizing relational presence over theatrical scenery. Photographic representations of interracial couples from the nineteenth century remain scarce, many having been hidden or destroyed by family members. In the aftermath of emancipation, Black assertions of family stability, property ownership, and respectability became central to broader struggles over citizenship and civil rights. This tintype preserves visual testimony of interracial domestic life at a moment when such relationships were the target of legal intervention, discrimination, and violence. Clipped lower left corner; minor scattered surface wear and handling marks consistent with age; emulsion intact with strong contrast and clear legibility; overall very good. A significant visual artifact of interracial intimacy in the United States Reconstruction-era.
