The number of Blacks elected to office in the former Confederate states during Reconstruction generally depended on?
Electing any blacks at all generally depended on the presence of Union troops to ensure that the freedmen were allowed to vote, and that former Confederates were not. Just about every white man in the south had either been in the Confederate service or in the government, so this meant no white voters, so long as the ban on political participation by former Confederates lasted. Only men, whether black or white, could vote (American Indians were not citizens for the most part, and so could not vote either).
