congress overturned johnsons vetoes on major reconstruction legislation
Federal troops were deployed in the Southern states during the Reconstruction Era to enforce federal laws and protect the rights of newly freed African Americans following the Civil War. Their presence aimed to suppress violent resistance from white supremacist groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan, and to ensure that African Americans could exercise their rights, including voting. The troops helped maintain order and support the Reconstruction governments established by Congress, which sought to rebuild the South and integrate former slaves into society.
Wilson, like Roosevelt and Taft, pushed aggressively for economic and political reforms but retreated on civil rights issues. Swayed by his southern upbringing and the support of northern whites, Wilson refused to expand the civil rights of African Americans.

I think the African Americans were for the democratic party.......but I'm not sure.

Getting away from discrimination in America.
Established communities of free African-Americans in southern cities often responded to the influx of newly freed African-Americans with a mix of support and apprehension. They typically welcomed newcomers, offering assistance in finding jobs and housing, and sharing resources to help them navigate their new status. However, there were also concerns about the potential for increased competition for limited opportunities and the challenges of integrating diverse backgrounds and experiences. Ultimately, these communities sought to foster solidarity while addressing the complexities of their evolving social dynamics.
The Radical Republicans supported the measure to ensure voting rights for African Americans.
