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.

They didn't support freedom for enslaved African Americans
I'm not American, but I am sure that African Americans support many different people and ideals. To assume that they all support the same thing is totally ridiculous and immature .
I think the African Americans were for the democratic party.......but I'm not sure.
Congress refused to seat representatives from Southern states after the Civil War primarily due to concerns over their commitment to the Union and the potential for undermining Reconstruction efforts. Many lawmakers believed that the Southern states had not fully repudiated the Confederacy and needed to demonstrate loyalty to the Union before being allowed back into Congress. Additionally, there was fear that these representatives would support policies that were counter to the rights and interests of newly freed African Americans. This led to a lengthy period of conflict and negotiation over the terms of Southern reintegration.

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.
